About Fselect
While it doesn't tend to fully replace traditional find and ls, fselect has these nice features: You can optionally build with fast, index-backed search support: voidtools Everything on Windows (--features everything, then pass --everything) or plocate on Linux (--features plocate, then pass --plocate). See the usage guide for details.
