Open Source Rust Search Software

fd is a program to find entries in your filesytem. It is a simple, fast and user-friendly alternative to find. While it does not aim to support all of find's powerful functionality, it provides sensible (opinionated) defaults for a majority of use cases. First, to get an overview of all available command line options, you can either run fd -h for a concise help message or fd --help for a more detailed version. fd is designed to find entries in your filesystem. The most basic search you can perform is to run fd with a single argument: the search pattern. Instead of just showing the search results, you often want to do something with them. fd provides two ways to execute external commands for each of your search results: the -x/--exec option runs an external command for each of the search results (in parallel), or the -X/--exec-batch option launches the external command once, with all search results as arguments.

Sonic is a super fast and lightweight, schema-less search backend that can be used in place of super-heavy and full-featured search backends like Elasticsearch. It is able to normalize language search queries, auto-complete search queries and offer the most relevant results. Being an identifier index rather than a document index, when queried it provides IDs that can be used to refer to matched documents in an external database.

Trieve is an all-in-one infrastructure for building hybrid vector search, recommendations, and RAG.

Syncdrome is a standalone tool that creates a comprehensive catalog of files from your personal hard drives. It enables rapid keyword searches, delivering results in a style similar to web search engines. When a drive is connected, you can directly open files with your system’s default applications. The application lets you designate a working folder for storing the file catalog, which can even be located on a cloud storage service like Dropbox or Google Drive for easy access from any device. With an intuitive interface, Syncdrome also provides a Navigator for exploring your synchronized drives, a Bookmark system to save your favorite files with comments, and a Folder Sync feature to keep directories consistent between locations. Additionally, its File Name Cleaner allows you to apply custom patterns and substitution rules to modify file names efficiently.
