ripgrep
Regex pattern directory search tool that respects your .gitignore
ripgrep is a line-oriented search tool that actively searches the directory you're currently in for a regex pattern. By default, ripgrep will ignore your .gitignore and skip hidden files or directories and binary files automatically. ripgrep has first class support on Windows, macOS and Linux, with binary downloads available for every release. ripgrep is similar to other popular search tools like The Silver Searcher, ack and grep. ripgrep supports arbitrary input preprocessing filters which could be PDF text extraction, less supported decompression, decrypting, automatic encoding detection and so on. In other words, use ripgrep if you like speed, filtering by default, fewer bugs and Unicode support. -

Locate32
Locate32 finds files and directories based on file names.
Locate32 finds files and directories based on file and folder names stored in a database. Locate32 saves to a database the names of all files on your hard drives. Once the file indexing has occurred, you can locate files quickly by using the application's search form. It works like "updatedb" and "locate" commands in Unix. In other words, it uses databases to store information about directory structures and uses these databases in searches. The use of these databases provides very fast searching speed. The software includes a dialog-based application as well as console programs that can be used to update and access the databases. Locate32 is not primarily meant to find text or data within files, but it has a primitive feature to do this. -

fd
A simple, fast and user-friendly alternative to 'find'
fd is a program to find entries in your filesytem. It is a simple, fast and user-friendly alternative to find. While it does not aim to support all of find's powerful functionality, it provides sensible (opinionated) defaults for a majority of use cases. First, to get an overview of all available command line options, you can either run fd -h for a concise help message or fd --help for a more detailed version. fd is designed to find entries in your filesystem. The most basic search you can perform is to run fd with a single argument: the search pattern. Instead of just showing the search results, you often want to do something with them. fd provides two ways to execute external commands for each of your search results: the -x/--exec option runs an external command for each of the search results (in parallel), or the -X/--exec-batch option launches the external command once, with all search results as arguments. -

After starting the application the first time you have to choose the root directory. In this directory you should put shortcuts, files and folders (App, Game, Script, URL, Network), which you are often using and especially when you can not find them over the windows start menu search. You can also consider to put there all files from your desktop. If you have ideas, questions or a problem you can contact the developer Markus Hofknecht via GitHub or email. -

Ransack is compatible with Rails 5.0, 5.1, 5.2 and 6.0, and on Ruby 2.3 and later. -

Wukong
Highly customizable full-text search engine
Efficient indexing and searching (1M Weibo 500M data is indexed in 28 seconds, search response time is 1.65 milliseconds, and search QPS is 19K). Support Chinese word segmentation (concurrent word segmentation using the sego word segmentation package, speed 27MB/sec). Support to calculate the proximity distance of keywords in the text (token proximity). When a request to add a document to the index comes in, the main coroutine will send the text to be segmented to a word segmentation coroutine through a channel, and the coroutine will segment the text and send it to a word segmentation through another channel. Indexer coroutines. The indexer coroutine builds an inverted index from the search keyword to the document, and the inverted index table is stored in memory for quick recall. The main coroutine receives the user's request, segments the request phrase in the main coroutine, and then sends it to the indexer through the channel. -
