Finding a file on macOS took ages in the Finder! And on external drives it was even worse since they were not indexed. I wanted to quickly find a file, I had 3 hard disks and was not sure which one of them had it, and Finder was so slow that I literally built a fast ratatui project to deal with this.

You can index a drive using the scan command, both internal and external drives work the same, it works on any platform. After the index exists, using the search command surfaces the file at a lightning fast rate compared to Finder search. The scan itself is also fast, thanks to the Rust architecture!

The speed is just miles ahead of the inbuilt indexing and search capabilities of macOS and Windows, and it is a portable solution so an indexed drive can be searched by someone else who has this tui program installed and the search will work just as fast!

Want to improve the search UI, make it easier to install, make it even faster somehow
