Orange is a cross-platform desktop application for fast local file search, built with Tauri and Rust using the Tantivy search engine. It indexes files on the filesystem, monitors changes in real time, and offers tokenization and auto completion with low memory and CPU usage.

Use cases

  • instantly find files on my computer by name
  • search local files across windows mac and linux
  • desktop search tool with real-time file indexing
  • fast alternative to windows search for filenames
  • search my filesystem with autocomplete
  • index and search files locally without cloud

When to choose

  • you need millisecond-level local file search with a simple GUI
  • you want real-time indexing of filesystem changes
  • you prefer a lightweight, low-resource desktop search app

When to avoid

  • you need full-text content search inside documents rather than file search
  • you need a headless or server-side search service
  • you require active development or frequent updates
