I struggle to search for my pdfs, Google docs and sometimes source code (although grep works decent)
What do you use to help organize and search your personal content?
- Johnny Decimal (https://johnnydecimal.com/) to structure folders
- agkozak/zsh-z: Jump quickly to directories that you have visited "frecently." A native Zsh port of z.sh with added features. (https://github.com/agkozak/zsh-z)
- catfish for searching (https://docs.xfce.org/apps/catfish/start)
The 2nd and 3rd component have many alternatives across platforms.
Albert and GNOME Search or whatever, on Linux.
Windows Search on Windows. (Windows Search doesn't work very well for me, but it's something.)

- Voidtools Everything for search by name/metadata.
- DocFetcher (open-source version) for search by file contents.
Everything is excellent, but DocFetcher could be improved.
