> Why not? Is that by Pope's decree, or is there an actual reason for that? By the decree of it vastly increasing complexity and drastically changing the very generic problem a filesystem tries to tackle, instead of just isolating it to its own solution for when it's actually needed and the trade-offs make sense. > with and without caches, sync and async, so clearly they do optimise for different kinds of access. That are compatible with the previously existing patterns. Case-insensitive/mapped codepoint full-text search is a very, very different problem and for which you should reach out to the right solution. And if you want it in your file browser, well nobody's forcing your operating system's human-facing file browser to base its UX entirely on file system primitives. As for existing tools, I don't know, I don't care for them since I can just organize my files and find them with fd or use a mapping tag-based file-system like tmsu. But I would assume this is the kind of usecase KDE's Baloo or GNOME Tracker intend to solve.
