fd

This is what I use: https://github.com/sharkdp/fd Which you can install as a binary, or via cargo. Fd is spectacular. To that you can add: https://github.com/junegunn/fzf Which you can bind to a key in your shell for convenience.

The Silver Searcher

These are all great, but the one I find myself using constantly on source code and other text-oriented files is The Silver Searcher (ag)[1]. It’s not as useful for file _names_, but most of the time, I care about contents and this searches, in realtime, at an incredible speed. Add the -l flag to list only filenames and you’ve got an amazing code location tool. [1] https://github.com/ggreer/the_silver_searcher.
