Is there an open source analog of voidtools Everything yet?

Have never been able to find anything.

Thanks for the suggestion.

Probably worth benchmarking against fzf/ripgrep when I can find the time.

There's this, which I haven't tried: https://github.com/ChrisS85/FastFileSearch

SwiftSearch is excellent and uses the same tech: https://sourceforge.net/projects/swiftsearch/
