Independent open-source project, not affiliated with or endorsed by EverythingToolbar or voidtools. FLOATING SEARCH BAR & INSTANT DROPDOWN • Always-accessible docked top/bottom X11 Search Strip (\_NET\_WM\_WINDOW\_TYPE\_DOCK) toggleable via global hotkey (Ctrl+Alt+F) or control panel, paired with a live instant dropdown result list. • Powered by SQLite FTS5 incremental indexing over your real home folders and mounted drives with filter chips: All, Folders, Docs, Images, Code, Archives, Regex, plus custom extension chips. • Keyboard-first workflow: Enter opens the selected file (xdg-open), Ctrl+Enter opens the containing folder, Up/Down navigates hits. • Full embedded Search Workbench directly inside Tab 1. INDEX SCOPES & REAL FILE ACTIONS • Add or remove indexed folders in your home directory, /media, or /mnt, and configure directory exclusion patterns. • Background incremental indexer displays exact indexed file count, folder count, SQLite index size on disk, and scan elapsed milliseconds. • Real file actions on any selected result: Copy Path, Compute SHA-256 checksum, Move to Trash, or Permanent Delete. FILTER RULES, DOCK PLACEMENT & HOTKEY • Create custom extension filter chips that appear live on both the Search Strip and Search Workbench. • Configure dock edge (Top / Bottom / Floating), target monitor, EWMH strut reservation, and global XGrabKey hotkey. LIMITATIONS (honest) • Docked window type hints and global XGrabKey hotkeys require an X11 / XWayland display session; pure Wayland compositors restrict global grabs.

They update automatically and roll back gracefully. Snaps are discoverable and installable from the [Snap Store](https://snapcraft.io/store), an app store with an audience of millions. ### Enable snapd 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. Choose the appropriate command depending on your installed openSUSE flavor. Tumbleweed: ``` sudo zypper addrepo --refresh https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/system:/snappy/openSUSE_Tumbleweed snappy ``` Leap 15.x: ``` sudo zypper addrepo --refresh https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/system:/snappy/openSUSE_Leap_15.6 snappy ``` If needed, Swap out `openSUSE_Leap_15.` for, `openSUSE_Leap_16.0` 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 ``` ### Install Panel File Search Bar To install Panel File Search Bar, simply use the following command: ``` sudo snap install panel-file-search-bar ``` ### Other popular snaps… [See more...](https://snapcraft.io/search?categories=featured) [See more in Featured](https://snapcraft.io/search?categories=featured) ### More things to do… #### [Get the snap store](https://snapcraft.io/snap-store) Browse and find snaps from the convenience of your desktop using the snap store snap. #### [Learn more about snaps](https://snapcraft.io/docs) Interested to find out more about snaps?
