## What it is
Fluent Search is a Windows desktop search utility for instantly finding files, apps, browser tabs, in-app content, and open windows from a unified interface. It is built with .NET 8 and Avalonia UI, and is extensible via community C# plugins.

## Use cases
- search files and apps instantly on windows
- find open browser tabs and in-app content
- launch apps with a keyboard-only launcher
- navigate the screen without a mouse
- extend desktop search with custom plugins
- index files with low cpu usage

## When to choose
- you want a fast all-in-one search and launcher on Windows 10/11 or ARM
- you need keyboard-driven screen navigation
- you want a plugin-extensible search tool

## When to avoid
- you need a cross-platform launcher (Windows only)
- you want an open-source codebase to contribute to (repo is issue tracker only, no license)
- you need macOS or Linux spotlight-style search
