Existing search tools on Windows suck. Even with an SSD, it’s painfully slow. So I built a prototype of Nowgrep. It bypasses most of the slow Windows nonsense, and just parses the raw NTFS. On an SSD, this ends up faster than ripgrep, even on a cached run (Nowgrep bypasses most Software caching). Demo: Filtering 2 million and searching ~270K files under C:/ for the substring "Hello". I have many ideas to make these an even smoother experience. Let me know if this is interesting, and I might pursue it further to make a shippable product with good UX.

I have decided to ship Nowgrep. A first Windows Beta will be released on 21th of November. Hold me accountable. Goals for first release: - Caching/content indexing to make searching even faster - Clean, good looking, and snappy UX - Minimal, standalone .exe file (aiming for < 0.5MB) - Very low memory/CPU usage - Fallback support for non-NTFS file systems, at reasonable speeds I will try to keep you updated: (or follow me here)
