File Minnow is an instant file search app for Linux. It indexes your file and folder names once, keeps the index up to date in real time, and finds files as you type, across millions of files, in milliseconds.
The snap is confined: it can search your home folder and, after
snap connect file-minnow:removable-media, drives under /media and /mnt.
Hidden files directly inside your home folder (such as ~/.config) are not
readable by snaps. For whole-system search and your file manager's custom
right-click actions, use the .deb or the portable archive from GitHub.

Snaps are applications packaged with all their dependencies to run on all popular Linux distributions from a single build. They update automatically and roll back gracefully.
Snaps are discoverable and installable from the Snap Store, an app store with an audience of millions.
If you’re running Ubuntu 16.04 LTS (Xenial Xerus) or later, including Ubuntu 18.04 LTS (Bionic Beaver) and Ubuntu 20.04 LTS (Focal Fossa), you don’t need to do anything. Snap is already installed and ready to go.
For versions of Ubuntu between 14.04 LTS (Trusty Tahr) and 15.10 (Wily Werewolf), as well as Ubuntu flavours that don’t include snap by default, snap can be installed from the Ubuntu Software Centre by searching for snapd.
Alternatively, snapd can be installed from the command line:
sudo apt update
sudo apt install snapd
Either log out and back in again, or restart your system, to ensure snap’s paths are updated correctly.
To install File Minnow, simply use the following command:
sudo snap install file-minnow
Browse and find snaps from the convenience of your desktop using the snap store snap.
