Is there something like Everything but open source and multiplatform?

That isn't shit? No, It uses a built-in Windows feature that Linux doesn't have.
>>54406269
It's called learning English, rajesh

>linux, a kernel, doesn't have file indexing
>>54406498
What are you implying?
>>54406498
I don't think it uses Windows' indexing.
It builds its own index and then manually processes NTFS journal for tracked filesystems.
Of course, the same could be done for ext3/4 as those are journaling filesystems also.

Everything? It doesn't, It uses the MFT; a feature only NTFS supports.

>https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Everything_%28software%29
>When Everything first runs, it creates an index of the names of every file and folder on the volume from file metadata in the NTFS Master File Table.[4] By default, all mounted NTFS volumes are indexed.[5] Once created, the index is continually updated by the application from the NTFS change journal.[6] Everything searches this index for file names matching a user search expression, which may be a fragment of the target file name or a regular expression,[7] displaying intermediate results as the search term is entered.
Is wiki lying?

No, you just don't understand what your reading.
Ext3/4 doesn't have the equivalent of a USN Change Journal/Master File Tables.
Everythings functionality isn't because NTFS is a generic journaling file system.

>Is there something like Everything but open source and multiplatform?
Yes, there is mlocate for locating any file. There is a file indexer created by a /g/ user that indexes them in real time, using mlocate: https://github.com/DoTheEvo/ANGRYsearch

Nice meme.
>>54406589
no?
>it creates an index of the names of every file and folder on the volume from file metadata in the NTFS Master File Table
"Master File Table" = MFT
>>54406543
That he's not looking for features in the right place.

I’d just like to interject for a moment. What you’re refering to as Linux, is in fact, GNU/LInux, or as I’ve recently taken to calling it, GNU plus Linux. Linux is not an operating system unto itself, but rather another free component of a fully functioning GNU system made useful by the GNU corelibs, shell utilities and vital system components comprising a full OS as defined by POSIX.
Many computer users run a modified version of the GNU system every day, without realizing it. Through a peculiar turn of events, the version of GNU which is widely used today is often called “Linux”, and many of its users are not aware that it is basically the GNU system, developed by the GNU project.
There really is a Linux, and these people are using it, but it is just a part of the system they use. Linux is the kernel: the program in the system that allocates the machine’s resources to the other programs that you run. The kernel is an essential part of an operating system, but useless by itself; it can only function in the context of a complete operating system. Linux is normally used in combination with the GNU operating system: the whole system is basically GNU with Linux added, or GNU/Linux. All the so-called “Linux” distributions are really distributions of GNU/Linux.

wow, some full retard shit

So you want .NET but opensource? Check out mono.
