OS/2 and Windows

Blazingly fast file search.

LorgLuath builds a compact index of your filesystem so searches run against the index instead of scanning the disk every time. That means extremely fast results, even on older hardware.

About

Fast find, by design.

LorgLuath is a command-line file index and search tool designed for systems where walking the filesystem for every search is too slow.

Instead of searching the disk each time, it builds a compact binary index first. Searches then run against that index, making them extremely fast while keeping memory use low and behaviour simple.

“LorgLuath” is Scottish Gaelic and roughly translates as Fast Find.

Core goals

  • Search extremely quickly
  • Use very little memory
  • Work well on older systems
  • Stay simple and robust
