thanks but it's way faster to have my stuff in G drive that way I can open a browser tab, wait 5 seconds for it to load, locate the new screen location of the search bar, click it, wait for javascript to finish loading so I can click the search bar, click it for real this time, mistype because there's some kind of contenteditable event jank, wait 5 seconds for my results to come up, fix the typo, and just have my results waiting for me I'm not going to learn a new tool when web is fine

If you're using Duckduckgo, just search ''!drive search-term'' or ''search term !drive'' or ''search !drive term'' More !operators here - https://duckduckgo.com/bang https://duckduckgo.com/bang

  Firefox supports custom search engines, the most bang for the buck custom search engine must be https://duckduckgo.com/?q=%s https://duckduckgo.com/?q=%s with keyword being the letter d. Then you get all these 13000+ bangs without having to configure the custom search engines. E.g. write "d !drive term" in url bar. And "d !w hacker news" sends you directly to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hacker_News https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hacker_News

    Or you just set DDG as your default search engine and then you don't even have to type the "d" anymore. :)

    Slightly off-topic but this is an important PSA. Firefox keyword search has one little known killer feature: You can combine it with data URIs and JavaScript to run small "command line snippets" stored in your bookmarks from your browser bar. To get started, create a keyword search from any form (like the search bar on duckduckgo.com) and edit the URL of the entry in the bookmark manager to point to data:text/html,<script>alert("%s")</script> instead. What you can do with this is (fortunately) limited by cross-origin restrictions but there are some useful applications. For example, I use this snippet data:text/html,<script>i="%s";firstSep=i.indexOf(" ");if(firstSep==-1)firstSep=i.length;subreddit=i.substr(0,firstSep);searchTerm=i.substr(firstSep+1);location=`https://old.reddit.com/r/${encodeURIComponent(subreddit)}${(searchTerm!=null&&searchTerm.replace(/\s/,"").length>0)?`/search?q=${encodeURIComponent(searchTerm)}&restrict_sr=1`:""}`</script> as a nice shortcut to Reddit ("<keyword> <subreddit>" to jump to a Subreddit, "<keyword> <subreddit> <search string>" to search within a Subreddit). You can also insert content directly into the document which opens the possibility for instant marquee data:text/html,<marquee>%s</marquee>

    This would be amazing, but gives me '405 - Not Allowed - nginx', see also [0]. Strange. [0] https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1625901 https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1625901 EDIT: That error occurred when going Right Click -> Add Keyword from the website. If setting the bookmark manually completely, it works.

    Or just create a bookmark for https://drive.google.com/drive/search?q=% https://drive.google.com/drive/search?q=% and type `drive term` or whatever you call it without bouncing through DDG.

      This works on every device you own. You don't need to setup anything. And there are thousands more at duckduckgo.com/bang .

  I don‘t know if you are joking, but this is clearly sarcasm.

      This means it's good sarcasm! The best sarcasm lies on a ridge, you cannot tell if it's sarcasm or not.

        Good in what sense? A sarcastic endorsement of A that is indistinguishable from an earnest one is a poor argument for ~A. This is in fact what's happened with Schrodinger's Cat: it was meant as an argument from absurdity against the Copenhagen Interpretation of quantum mechanics, but it's presented seriously and so people take it in that way.

        > A sarcastic endorsement of A that is indistinguishable from an earnest one is a poor argument for ~A. The purpose of sarcasm is not to make an argument, it's to have fun. The best fun is had when exactly half of the audience does not get the joke (as the other half makes fun of them).

  not being sarcastic if god wanted me to access my files in less than 15 seconds, they wouldn't have commanded google to package the search bar as a separate JS bundle that only gets downloaded when you focus the search bar I'm no frontend dev but I know a thing or two about HTML + there's no built-in way to input text into a box -- this is the best we can do and we'll just have to wait for 5G + moore's law to solve this

A lot of us don't want our stuff on G-drive for privacy and security concerns. Tools like this are valuable to us. It's an old problem and there are plenty indexers out there, this more real-time scan is more than welcome to join the bunch of course.

I'm not sure on how many level this statement is off. Sure, if its file where you don't care about your privacy, the kind of files you don't mind posting on facebook, then sure put in G Drive. But don't think for a second that those files in the cloud is yours. It is NOT! Especially when we are talking about FANNG here. You will have NO legal protection! Stop using cloud, usb is fine.
