This post introduces how to get the most of the search tool in Windows 10 File Explorer. install.shĪrch users among you can install it direct from AUR.In Windows 10, you can search for files through File Explorer. Next, download the latest release from the project’s Github page and, when complete, extract it:įinally, cd inside the extracted folder, and use the following commands to run the install script: chmod +x install.sh & sudo. This dependency must be satisfied before you can install the app ANGRYsearch won’t run without it: sudo apt install python3-pyqt5 The app isn’t super easy to install on Ubuntu - but it’s not exactly difficult either.įirst, install PyQt5. Full mode - slower, shows name, path, size and last modified date.Lite mode - faster, shows only name and path.

You can choose whether the search database uses full mode or lite mode (default) by editing theangrysearch_lite variable in ~/.config/angrysearch/nf: You can enable Regex mode by pressing F8. Regex – slowest, used for very precise searches using regular expressions.Slow – slightly slower, but can find substrings.Fast – default fastest, but no support for substrings.Some skill, a pinch of python3 (and PyQt5 for the GUI) and copious amount of configuration capabilities later, the solution is ANGRYsearch. “Everyone seems to be damn content with searches that are slow, populating results as they go or are cli based, making it difficult to comfortably make use of the results or are heavily integrated with a file manager, often limiting search to just home or are trying to be everything with full-text file’s content search,” the project developer explains on Github. It displays results as you type the name of the file/folder you are looking forĪNGRYsearch is heavily inspired by the Everything Search Engine app for Windows - just like Fsearch, a similar tool we’ve written about previously ( Fsearch now has a daily builds PPA, btw). Nautilus’ file search makes it relatively easy to find any specific file or folder on your Linux system, but it’s not going to win any speed awards.įor faster Linux file search, with instant results as you type, take a look at the (superbly) named ANGRYsearch, a Python-based app.
