clear linux is the way to go for desktop linux.

mac has done good job with spotllight i use search everything in windows in linux i use albert/file search , fsearch for fast search. but somehow they are lacking all the feature that spotlight provides. i want linux to index all my ext, ntfs every partition .. and instantly show up my documents/files.

You can use locate and use cronie to update the database.

Desktop linux must be all about GUI.

Desktop linux must be all about GUI.

If you have some package in mind that provides the functionality you want, you may make a package request. Otherwise it seems to me that you're requesting Clear Linux dev team to develop such a functionality with GUI interface. It's unlikely that this would be achieved very soon.

i would suggest https://github.com/albertlauncher/albert , its filesearch functionality to best suite my needs. Please add this in your bundle package.

As you guys are building the kernel from ground up. i hope to implement to track the file from right start. so that later tracking files will be easy like WINDOWS DOES FOR NTFS. searching file through "search everything" is so fast, and it updates any new file instantly. by implementation of USN Journal that allows immediate indexing (as Everything does with NTFS)?

can it be implemented to Ext3/Ext4 or other file systems to have something like the USN Journal that allows immediate indexing (as Search Everything does with NTFS)?
