This thing is magical! I use it as a quick scientific paper finder. Basically have a folder with, probably thousands by now, papers (each file's name contains paper title, authors, year, journal) and by typing a couple words can fuzzy search for stuff by whatever fields. It also works incredibly nicely with vim as a fuzzy search for either files or phrases within files.

A nice, I do the same but I convert all books, papers and powerpoints to pdf files with a rondom name or i use a hash of the content as name. Then in use ripgrepall with fzf to search for the information i'm looking for.
