What it does

OmniSearch is a fast Windows desktop search app built with Tauri, Rust, and C++. It reads NTFS metadata directly for quick local search, and can also scan file contents with inline syntax like content:. It includes duplicate cleanup, previews, recent history, better folder actions, improved icons, and a keyboard-first Quick Window. Great for people who want Everything-like speed with more built-in workflow tools.

OmniSearch is a high-performance file search and duplicate finder for Windows.
It indexes NTFS metadata (USN Journal / MFT) for fast local search across your drives.

Key points:
- Instant search results as you type
- Advanced filters by extension, size, and date
- Duplicate finder for reclaiming disk space
- File preview support for common file types

- Quick W

    Hey HN! I got nerd-sniped by Bloom Filters this weekend, specifically for searching datasets with high "cardinality" (number of unique items). They're an _amazing_ data structure that, at a fixed size, tracks potential set membership. That means unlike normal b-tree indexes, they don't grow with the number of unique items in the dataset. This makes them great for "needle in a haystack" search (logs, document) as implementations like VictoriaMetrics and Bing's BitFunnel show. I've used them in the past, but they've never been center-stage in my projects. I wanted high cardinality keyword…

    Hi HN, I’m a fullstack developer, and honestly, I’ve lost count of how many side projects I’ve worked on over the years. But one idea kept coming back to me: a different kind of email client. It first came to me in 2014: “What if we could handle emails more like conversations?” Every year, I’d revisit this concept in my “Build Notes.” Ten years later, no one had built exactly what I had in mind — so I finally decided to do it myself. That’s how Talanoa was born. I wanted something focused on people, not timelines. I was tired of marking messages as unread just to remember to reply later, or…

  • With social media and now AI, its important to keep the indie web alive. There are many people who write frequently. Blogosphere tries to highlight them by fetching the recent posts from personal blogs across many categories. There are two versions: Minimal (HN-inspired, fast, static): https://text.blogosphere.app/ Non-minimal: https://blogosphere.app/ If you don't find your blog (or your favorite ones), please add them. I will review and approve it.
