Docked X11 mini file search bar with instant SQLite FTS5 desktop dropdown
A Linux alternative to Everything Toolbar. 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.
