About FSearch
FSearch helps you to find files and folders as easy and fast as possible.
Just type a few letters and search results will appear almost instantly.
There are a lot of features which make searching as efficient and powerful
as possible. Such as:
Ignore case (e.g. searching for "fsearch" will match "FSearch" as well)
Regular expressions
Wildcard support
Filter support (e.g. only search for audio files)
Exclude certain files and folders
Fast sort by name, path, size, modification time and extension
Note: Due to Flatpak's sandboxing, FSearch can't find every file on your system.

- Click Download — the developer's official website opens in a new tab.
