mlocate tool - search-everything for linux
I was long looking for a tool that looks like Search everything
So the tool is called mlocate
.
You would need to run the following to re-index files before doing search:
/etc/cron.daily/mlocate
#or
updatedb
Search for files using
locate <file>
Note - that external drives (and mounted drives are not indexed).
You must update /etc/updatedb.conf
file - remove /media
path from PRUNEPATHS
I found it helpful while using docker (without mounting temporary volumes).
Kudos to Vaclav
for showing me this tool.
