ANGRYsearch

ANGRYsearch is a simple and lightweight tool to find files/folders from your mounted drives quickly and easily, it is written in Pythong and inspired from "Everything" which is available for Windows. It displays results as you type the name of the file/folder you are looking for.
ANGRYsearch database can be set to two different modes in its config, default being lite: lite mode shows only name and path; full mode shows also size and date of the last modification, the drawback is that crawling through drives takes roughly twice as long since every file and directory gets additional stats calls.
In this file you can set mode you want to use (~/.config/angrysearch/angrysearch.conf), values are true or false.


There are 3 search modes, default being fast:
  • Fast mode - enabled when the checkbox next to the input field is checked extremely fast, but no substrings, meaning it would not find "Pirates" or "Whiplash", but it would "Pirates" or "The-Fifth"
  • Slow mode - enabled when the checkbox is unchecked, slightly slower but can find substrings
  • Regex mode - activated by the F8 key, indicated by orange color background slowest search, used for very precise searches using regular expressions, set to case insensitive, unlike the previous search modes not entire path is searched, only the filenames/directory names
