>Linux will never have everything search engine.... blabla
So heres another update to angrysearch - attempt at making Everything Search Engine for Linux
>github
https://github.com/DoTheEvo/ANGRYsearch
>whats new
easy manual installation with install.sh bash script
basic keyboard shortcuts to get focus of search input or quit
simple context menu on right click
quotation marks work for explicit search
FTS5 implementation where available, currently only Arch
https://www.sqlite.org/fts5.html
this gives ability to remove unwanted results with minus sign, likevideo -webm
FTS5 also ignores diacritic/accent
so search foroperatorwould show in results 'ôperàtor'
also important fix for the slow but precise nonFTS search(checkbox top right)
the order of searched terms mattered before, now it does permutations of input so you can be sure that if it exists on the system it will be shown
angrysearch in action
I made also a gif of the installation with the new bash script
but it kinda felt meh.. too large, too attention dragging to be put on the github readme page
but here it is...
>mfw linux tries to reinvent search that microsoft mastered on idk xp? when cortana searches the phrase you want on the fucking PICTURES with ocr so you can get that photo of that blurry recipe or whatever on your phone in mere seconds because it also works with connected cloud services too.

>windows search
>good
lol
find . -iname "filename"
regex support?
>>54451700
the default search in windows has the same shortcomings as the many searches in linux
go find some non executable file in program files and search for it...
>>54451778find . -iname "*.webm"
and what now what to do with results when its just giant list and you cant adjust and filter out the results more based on what you see
>>54451790
sqlite can do it according to quick google so it could be done
cant really see it used often or by many people..
though it might actually be pretty nifty regex tester, seeing results go live as you play with the regex expression
will look in to it
>>54451917
>sqlite can do it according to quick google so it could be done
cool really the only thing I can think of that I use often with everything search is wildcards * and the video/audio/everything filters
>>54451197
OP - if this is yours, thank you. People like you are the reason Linux is great. I really appreciate it. I'm flat broke at the moment but I'll buy you a beer as soon as I get my first paycheck in a few weeks. I'll star your Github repo too.
Have you packaged it for the AUR yet?
>>54451207
nice
>>54451790
find . -iregex ".*foo$"
>>54451197
Also, you should put a bitcoin/paypal address that you'd take donations at
>>54452359
Fuck off, this diserves its own thread you shitty backseat mod.
>>54451207
good. But can I click that mp3 and open it in my preferred player from Angrysearch?
>>54452127
thnx for the praise, but it dont really feel very earned
this project is surprisingly easy, as in I had like codecademy python course done when I started to tinker with it..
but its shame that actual professional programmers with some C magic did not pick up on everything.. that shit would be tiny and awesome
this is just input field for searching in 200MB large database and table with results with some fluff around it
>Have you packaged it for the AUR yet?
yeap its up
>>54452555
yeap
>people don't have mlocate installed in 2016

where's the ebuild at?
This is the first useful thing I've seen on gee
https://github.com/junegunn/fzf
>>54451197
The fuck is the point of this?
Fuzzy search isnt new
>>54453029
to find what you want as fast as possible
or to get fast where you want to go
and after you get to it you can actually make use of it right away
>>54451197find / &| grep "chrome"
>>54453106
sneaky
>>54451197
what's wrong with locate(1)?
you don't even need X to run it
>>54454139
cumbersome and unwieldy, hard to make use of the results
its on completely different level to just press alt+space, angrysearch opens and write part of the name of a tv series that you want to continue watching and be there with next 2 key presses
or to search for stuff and filter results depending on what you see instantly popping up...
>>54451197
>>54451207
Looking pretty good.
how do you change the icon?
>>54451197
whats wrong withlocate <thing>

Fucking winfags man, absolute fucking retards.
Pressing enter is too hard for them.
>>54451197
how does this differ from ‘locate’?
>>54451284

Why is it that angrysearch need to manually update the database when everything knows about all your new files instantly?
the most productive thing /g/ has ever done in it's entire existance.
Thank you based OP

Good! Now integrate that into a file manager.

Shit, he even went and developed something instead of just the logo.
What a time to be alive.
>>54451197
Can it crawl folders that begin with a #?
Everything cant
>>54451700
>cortana searches the phrase you want on the fucking PICTURES with ocr
Is this actually for real? Sweet
>>54458428
theres arch, opensuse and fedora packages
setup.py install I saw only used for modules not actually whole applications
and more linux users should be familiar with few lines of bash
>>54456327
yeah, not ideal I guess, if you know of some similar size project that does separation well do tell... I feel like i would be just forcing it for the sake of separation with few classes
I guess database update might be better as separate file with some changes that would make it work for both update from within the main application and on a cronjob...
>>54458560
yeap, it can crawl in to folders named ^@{#}$:::
linux is not picky about the naming
>>54456280
>when everything knows about all your new files instantly?
It doesn't.
Make it so that angrysearch creates a lockfile or I can configure the systray feature.
Currently I use krunner to run it, but it keeps spawning new instances and spamming my systray. Either make it not minimize to the systray, or check if an instance is already running and bring that one up instead.
>>54459877
will check, I can confirm that KDE is virtual box is doing it to me too
>>54458584
of course not--too much for microcucks to develop
>>54458588
>setup.py install I saw only used for modules not actually whole applications
setup.py installs your package to be usable from python and your scripts to be contained in your path, thus making it perfectly easy to create standalone application installers with it. also the __main__.py contains code which gets executed when the package is called on its own, thus making it an executable application as well.

Good job man.
>>54461416
I read this few times, but I am skeptical
is os x search really that good even for system files? with instant awareness of everything?
Because if its just for home its meh
>>54461448
i never said any of those things
>>54461497
it's not everything for sure, but it indexes more than home folder. you can also use it in terminal with fzf or whatever. same with locate.
>>54461578
You were clearly making fun of the people writing software.
> winfags and linuxcuks desperately
Nice way to backpedal, but at least you realized how stupid you sounded.
>>54451207
god this is the most useless tool I have every come across in linux.
If it indexed the contents of the files, then yes it would be cool.
Otherwise it completely fucking useless.
plus it's a horrible gui utility
as the others have said, it is nothing locate + grep can't do
I couldn't even understand why someone would even want to write a tool like this. Then I took a look at the guy's github. Six crappy repositories of even more useless shit. This guy is no better than that stupid model who has a few github repos. What's worse is that he's trying to whore out his program on the /flt/.
That guy probably is learning from the /dpt/s or something. Kudos to him for the effort and trying to learn. But please check whether or not there exists a decent solution to the problem you are trying to solve.
>>54462204
>as the others have said, it is nothing locate + grep can't do
except being faster and more comfortable and you actually can make use of the results immediately
also whats the output of this on your system, assuming bashgrep -o "locate" ~/.bash_history | wc -l
>>54462425
my count is 13, but I'm on a new system
I only use locate to hunt down include files
>except being faster and more comfortable and you actually can make use of the results immediately
for the linux power user, he's rather not fire up a gui when he can do everything from the command line
for the users new to linux, i'm pretty sure any decent file manager on nix has this search functionality
the guy is reinventing the wheel
>>54461120
SCUZA SINYORE
>>54462508
>for the linux power user, he's rather not fire up a gui when he can do everything from the command line
if gui is faster then power user chooses faster solution, better suited for the task
not sticking with universal tools when specialized one offers more
>for the users new to linux, i'm pretty sure any decent file manager on nix has this search functionality
the guy is reinventing the wheel
which is still inferior in some aspects, especially if new user would want to find and get to some config files
>>54451197
When will you newfags learn that the OS is called GNU and Linux is just one of it's kernels?
Damn summer.
>>54456280
>Why is that angrysearch follows the limitations of computer hardware when everything can break the laws of physics?
Good on ya mate, thanks for the tool and keep up the great work

Looks nice. I have already Kupfer and Albert installed but I'm going to try out yours, too.
>>54451207
please add this:
- pressing enter key changes focus from search textbox to results window
- minimize to notification area on close/minimize (escape key press)
- black icon with four red dots is disgusting :)

$ find / | grep "bbc.mkv"
>>54463210
>kupfer
if you on kde then go for the latest commit
it fixes quitting the application, where on KDE it kept living in tray unless closed through tray icon menu
everything is so fucking great holy shit i love that program.
for a small example of its utility, i wasn't sure where save files for DaS3 were located, but instead of googling it i just had to press insert (hotkey to launch it) type .sl2.
>2016
>trying to reinvent locate
>>54463225
>pressing enter key changes focus from search textbox to results window
sure
>minimize to notification area on close/minimize (escape key press)
harder, next launch of application would need to be aware of instance running
maximize it, and quit itself
also it would then need probably some hotkey to show/hide since it would be living in tray
it starts fast so just keybind it to start on some combo... I use alt+space
>black icon with four red dots is disgusting :)
but simple and recognizable easily
>>54463267
locate is just a bash alias for "find / | grep <bla bla>"
>>54463806
/g/ is just an internet alias for /dev/wrong
>>54462694
Damn. Windows is truly superior.

Da fuq.
Kudos for that OP.
this is what i need
thanks for the virus, OP
This is the kind of software we need for making GNU/Linux great again.
ANGRYsearch should be shipped by default for all baby's first distros because is an excellent piece of software, ideal for first timers. Plus is GPL!
The only thing I would argue is using python instead of C, but great job nonetheless OP.
Why are so many useless feature requests to OP? That's the last thing you do unless you want mission creep.
Don't do that faggots.
