## What it is
ANGRYsearch is a Linux desktop file search application that provides instant results as you type, inspired by the Windows tool Everything Search. It is written in Python 3 with a PyQt5 GUI and indexes the filesystem into a local SQLite database for fast lookups.

## Use cases
- instantly find files on linux by name as i type
- search entire filesystem not just home directory
- regex search for filenames on linux
- fast alternative to slow file manager search
- find files by substring or partial name match
- locate recently modified files with size and date

## When to choose
- you want an Everything-like instant filename search on Linux
- you need a GUI search tool rather than CLI utilities like find or locate
- you want regex or substring filename search across all drives

## When to avoid
- you need full-text content search inside files
- you are not on Linux or lack a PyQt5 desktop environment
- you need a lightweight CLI-only tool
