Why?

• Fast search under Linux is needed because Everything is not available for Linux
• plocate by default doesn't show clickable links, so OSC 8 is used to show clickable links (if the terminal emulator supports it)
• Change parent_directory to the root folder where your search should start (e.g. /home)
• The search is not case-sensitive. Can be changed but removing -i from locate -i
• Create a cronjob to run updatedb -U /path/to/parent_directory (consider sudo) every $n$ minutes. For example: * * * * * updatedb -U /parent_directory >/dev/null 2>&1 for updating every minute.

How to use with bash

• Create a file jj in /usr/local/bin and fill it with the content of the file in this repository.
• /usr/local/bin is by default in path and you can start your search from your terminal by jj search_pattern
