What are Linux users using as "Spotlight"?
by NetWorth from LinuxQuestions.org on (#6K698)
I did some searching, and still was left wondering: What are Linux users using as their substitute for "Spotlight" in 2023/2024?
For searching quickly and thoroughly I have settled on a slightly customized "F-search", pair with a quickly accessible syntax reference / crutch, because regex hard, mane!. But even regex can't do fuzzy searching, and... it just is not 'spotlight'.
I'm considering some rust-based CLI tools, I'm just gonna say 'tree', or... idk. They are written down some where and currently are misplaced, so I'll just stop.
What's everybody else doing? Any top picks?
Oh yeah, and in case it might matter, I'm Cinnamon Mint here, but I will clone, I will fork, I will cmake, build cargo... whatever. I'll try. So don't hold back.
