> I think the secret sauce is a background service which continuously updates the file index

Actually, the secret sauce to both WizTree's and Everything's speed is the NTFS Master File Table (MFT) [1].

Is there an open source analog of voidtools Everything yet?

Have never been able to find anything.

I've seen flow launcher recommended but haven't personally tried it out yet

Thanks for the suggestion.

Probably worth benchmarking against fzf/ripgrep when I can find the time.

SwiftSearch is excellent and uses the same tech: https://sourceforge.net/projects/swiftsearch/

So why do the stock implementations suck?
