Spotlight didn’t quite work for me for file search. But yes, there is not much value add here other than a GUI.

The main motivation was that Windows Search is often slow and terrible. But then I wasn’t able to help many Windows users because of corporate security on their work machines and my lack of $500 Windows code signing certificates.

The main sell was that it was fast and did full text search using natural language.

I had several other plans but wasn’t really able to make much of it happen. In the end this became a passion project that I tweaked endlessly to learn new technologies rather than create value for the user.

Dope, I like the use of Tauri!
