About

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.

Permissions

1 permission weaken the sandbox. Flatsonar asks before installing.

  • full access to your entire file system

  • inter-process communication (needed for X11)
    --share=ipc
  • X11 display, only when Wayland is unavailable
    --socket=fallback-x11
  • Wayland display
