What it does
- Filename search across ~100,000 files in milliseconds on a warm cache. Method, hardware, and per-platform numbers are in Performance.
- Results update as you type. There is no separate search page.
- Incremental indexing. changed files are picked up without rescanning the whole disk.
- Closing the window keeps the index warm; reopening is instant.
- Names, full text, fuzzy matches that tolerate typos, and meaning, in one search.
