- tech234a 1y agoThere's fsearch which has a similar UI but isn't as fast.
- ripdog 1y agoAFAIK it's not really possible to implement Everything in Linux because Everything relies on reading the entire file list at once from the NTFS metadata, allowing it to index at incredible speed. On Linux, there are dozens of filesystems which likely make it impossible to achieve the same. That said, I do wonder why Linux gone search is always so slow even on indexed files.
- kasabali 1y ago> which likely make it impossible Huge exaggeration. It just needs to be ext4, and like 90% would be covered b you by that. For remaining 10%, (and only if you care), XFS and btrfs would be more than enough.
