File search in graphical Linux is terrible as well.
Just the other day i was trying to do sone simple file search in Mint and oh god the GUI search function is completely useless. I had to jump around installing 3 "file search" programs, none of them really worked and at the end I settled with some console bash magic. ... its 2023 people.
- anthk 3y agoWith Linux the best option it's to use recoll to create a database and a GUI to search into your documents.
- hulitu 3y agoLocate works great.
- Jenda_ 3y agoLocate is for file names, not file contents.
- deepspace 3y agoripgrep for contents
- pseudalopex 3y agoripgrep is fast for what it is. But indexes are faster.
- Jenda_ 3y agoAdditionally, I would expect indexing to extract text contents from non-plain-text formats. (such as Recoll does)
- xtracto 3y agoHow's its GUI? you know, because I was talking about GUI based file searching.
- dzonga 3y agoyep on linux have to use catfish file search
