• Ask HN: Why is on-device search terrible?

  There's this, which I haven't tried: https://github.com/ChrisS85/FastFileSearch. - Source: Hacker News / over 1 year ago

• I opened up my pc and my game was gone. It said it could not be found and when i searched I couldn't find the application. I downloaded it from FitGirl repacks and the game is elden ring.

  You could try using SwiftSearch to see if you can find the files somewhere in your computer. It too believe that it was probably win defender being funny and simply deleted every trace of it though. Source: over 1 year ago

• LPT: Frustrated by a slow Windows search? Go to your Control Panel and open "Indexing Options", then click Modify. It's possible your C: drive has not been indexed. Index your files and you searches will be instant.

  SwiftSearch is an awesome app that loads the whole NTFS table in on all connected drive, and searches virtually instantly. Source: almost 3 years ago

• LPT: On Windows machines, in "indexing options" set it to your entire hard drive(s). This will greatly increase the speed of searching for files.

  LPT: Get swiftsearch it's a million times faster than the windows search function. Source: almost 3 years ago

• BOOKMARKS LOST

  I'd use a file system wide search tool like everything or wizfile or swiftsearch or whatever other tool you prefer and look for those files as if multiple profiles are in use they might be somewhere else. Source: about 3 years ago

• What checks would allow you to deem a closed-source app as safe? (worries over Fluent Search)

  You could also see if Cerebro or Flow work for you, both of which I tried last year before settling on ueli. Source: over 1 year ago

• Spyglass updated to crawl & index local text files (self-hosted search engine)

  Not to take away from OP’s post, but there are several alternatives already. https://cerebroapp.com. Source: almost 2 years ago

• A Look at Curiosity - A MacOS Spotlight search style app available for Linux

  We have had awesome applications that do exactly this, while being fully FOSS, for some time. Albert and cerebro just to name a few. (I use Albert myself all the time and it is fantastic! And extensible!). Source: over 2 years ago

• Arvis introduction

  It's interesting how many of these alternatives are popping up around now. We too have made a cross platform, open source variant named LaunchMenu alternative which we released into Beta. It looks like you've gone for a similar approach as Cerebro with a plugin system based on a getPluginItems listener. Cerebro's general design is much more akin to LaunchBar than Alfred however.
