I actually switched from Deft -> Xeft -> Howm as my main UI for searching and creating notes :). Xeft is indeed great, and I still keep it around for more involved searches (like “+key1 -key2” and “key1 NEAR key2”). But most of my searches now go through Howm, which supports fulltext as-you-type searching (can be invoked by pressing “g” for “grep” from its note list), and it can shell out to Ripgrep to speed it up.
