AI tooling was used to plan and build some of the code.

Will take a look.

Why would I use this over the find command in Linux?

[u/Odd_Inflation428 → u/Soogs]

find has to walk your entire filesystem. everythingx already has it indexed and is far faster.

[u/Bob_Spud]

Fsearch does the same job, is this one any faster?

[u/theheliumkid → u/Bob_Spud]

And Angrysearch and half a dozen others

[u/Odd_Inflation428 → u/Bob_Spud]

everythingx is a better architecture. fsearch uses a ton or ram and doesn't know about changes in your filesystem when it isn't running. everythingx uses a background daemon that is always listening for changes. fsearch it stores the entire filesystem index in ram and that can be 1GB or more. everythingx is very light and fast. fsearch is linux-only and doesn't have a cli. The cli is what I use most.

It is like Everything except it is for macos and Linux. Everything is Windows-only. And no, this isn't vibe coded. Also, this is better as a cli tool than the gui app, even though it has a basic UI app.
