Linux Search Everything
A faster and more flexible file browser for Linux, offering rich capabilities such as case sensitivity, regular expression based search, search by selecting multiple file types, selection of BFS algorithms based on multi threads, control of how deep the algorithms go, choice of custom files to not be taking into account in the search process to improve the search speed and more features.
Stack selected and architecture
It was made using the Electron framework. The UI was created with Reactjs version 18, using the new concurrency capabilities in this new release. Redux library was used as the global state feature.
For the features related to file search and shell command execution, Nodejs was used. The project is in the process of getting started, my goal is to achieve the capabilities of the windows "everything" software.
In this version we are not using indexing. But we are exploiting the multitasking capabilities offered by Nodejs to try to perform a search in the file tree as fast as possible. I use child_process, spawn, fork, and worker_threads.
Software Architecture
Electron is a framework for building desktop applications using JavaScript, HTML, and CSS. By embedding Chromium and Node.js into its binary, Electron allows you to maintain one JavaScript codebase and create cross-platform apps that work on Windows, macOS, and Linux — no native development experience required. It has two main processes, IcpMain and IcpRender. IcpMain is a node base environment where all Nodejs functionalities such as path, fs, EventEmitter, child_process, worker_threads, etc. can be accessed. IcpRender is in charge of the render ui.
I have implemented a multi threading BFS for search in the File System Tree.

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.
Snap can be installed from the command line on openSUSE Leap 15.x and Tumbleweed.
You need first add the snappy repository from the terminal. Leap 15.5 users, for example, can do this with the following command:
sudo zypper addrepo --refresh https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/system:/snappy/openSUSE_Leap_15.5 snappy
Swap out openSUSE_Leap_15.5 for openSUSE_Leap_15.4 or openSUSE_Tumbleweed if you’re using a different version of openSUSE.
With the repository added, import its GPG key:
sudo zypper --gpg-auto-import-keys refresh
Finally, upgrade the package cache to include the new snappy repository:
sudo zypper dup --from snappy
Snap can now be installed with the following:
sudo zypper install snapd
You then need to either reboot, logout/login or source /etc/profile to have /snap/bin added to PATH.
Additionally, enable and start both the snapd and the snapd.apparmor services with the following commands:
sudo systemctl enable --now snapd
sudo systemctl enable --now snapd.apparmor
To install Linux Search Everything, simply use the following command:
sudo snap install linux-search-everything
Browse and find snaps from the convenience of your desktop using the snap store snap.
