Dev builds local semantic file search tool FileSeek
revived_soul_37 · reddit · 2026-09-02
Frustrated by Windows Search, a solo dev built FileSeek, a fully local semantic file search tool. Key features:
- Semantic Search: Finds files by meaning (e.g., "narrator voice") in 8ms without filename matching.
- Deep Content Search: Searches inside files with random names.
- Chat with Files: Discuss file contents with a local LLM.
- Live Watcher: Tracks edits and changes automatically.
- Fully Offline: Indexes 15,000+ files locally.
The project is open-source on GitHub, seeking feedback.
