Looks like it does exactly what you can get out of Everything (https://www.voidtools.com https://www.voidtools.com) Index Journal https://www.voidtools.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=9792 https://www.voidtools.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=9792 but programmatically and its highly scriptable, pretty cool. Will definitely add it to my arsenal of troubleshooting tools. Edit: never mind, This tool is manually scanning the filesystem instead of listening to OS events https://github.com/e-dant/watcher/blob/989147b183ee0547d71a14681c0b72d5b12a30e0/include/watcher/adapter/windows/watch.hpp https://github.com/e-dant/watcher/blob/989147b183ee0547d71a1...

Voidtools gives security warnings in my browser, fwiw.

  Of course it does, its competing with Microsoft by providing actually working instant local search.

    My chrome browser.

      > instant local search still checks out :) But I checked just to be sure and no warning in Version 106.0.5249.91 (Official Build) (32-bit). Maybe its your corporate baby content web filter?

        No, its a certificate issue; probably minor, but a server-side thing to attend to by the looks of it.

        There are no certificate issues in my Chrome. Are you sure your not on some MITMing VPN?

        (late update for anybody reading this): looks like you were correct, (apologies to voidtools). When I click through the (local) corporate content blocker kicks in.

For clarity, the author did say in another comment that for Windows they plan to implement system API calls to watch files instead of manually scanning the filesystem. For macOS and linux it is listening to OS events.
