Description : A search utility focusing on performance and advanced features
FSearch is a fast file search utility inspired by the Everything
Search Engine on Windows. It provides instant search results as
well as various useful features (regex, filters, bookmarks, ...)
As the author states on the project homepage, many existing tools
were evaluated but none met the requirement of fast, advanced,
and DE-independent.
I was an user of the Everything Search Engine, and fsearch is
the best replacement I can find on Linux. I have been using it
from beta and the author is planning to do a release, thus this
ITP. I did not encounter any stability issues even with early
versions, and the release roadmap is rather about new features.
I intend to maintain the package myself, but I will need a mentor
for sponsorship.
