A command-line interface for searching the FSearch database.
Open Source — GPL-3.0
gsearch-cli reads and searches the binary database file created by FSearch, a Linux file finder for finding files ultra fast, often compared to Everything. Since FSearch does not provide an official API, gsearch-cli was built for tech-savvy users who want to automate file search workflows from the terminal.
Instead of scanning your filesystem every time, gsearch-cli queries a pre-built index — making searches near-instantaneous, even across millions of files.
Queries the pre-built FSearch binary database for near-instantaneous results across your entire filesystem.
Written in Go and statically compiled — download and run. No dependencies, no setup, no installation required.
Reads the same binary database format as FSearch, so you can use both the GUI and CLI interchangeably.
