The closest linux alternative to Everything for Windows.
Decent alternative to "Everything" for Linux. Searching files ist just as fast and convenient, but indexing takes much longer. Still, it's the best tool there is for *nix operating systems so far.
An excellent file search to linux!
Couldn't live without this, it's always the first thing I install!
If you've used Search Everything by voidtools on windows and you're looking for an alternative on Linux then: THIS IS IT.
Insanely fast. Exactly like Everything Search on Windows
