What is ES-TUI?

ES-TUI is a comprehensive terminal user interface for Everything Search. It was created to address the fundamental problems with Windows File Explorer's search, which has been described as "unreliable, slow, and feature-poor".

ES-TUI leverages the instant, NTFS index-based searching of Everything Search but adds a proper terminal interface for power users and automation workflows. It bridges the gap between the speed of Everything Search and the needs of users who prefer a command-line environment.

Key features of ES-TUI include:

  • Instant Search: It provides sub-second results by using Everything's NTFS indexing.
  • Rich TUI: The full-screen interface offers intuitive keyboard navigation, with Vim-like and standard shortcuts.
  • Visual Indicators: The interface includes file type icons, with a Unicode and ASCII fallback, and support for multiple view modes.
  • Advanced Features: It supports regex, case-sensitive, whole-word, and path matching for advanced filtering.
  • Detailed Information: A properties panel displays detailed file information, including Windows-specific metadata, and it offers EXIF integration to view image metadata.
  • Export Support: Search results can be saved in various formats like CSV, EFU, TXT, M3U, and M3U8.
  • Troubleshooting: The application includes a comprehensive debug mode for logging and troubleshooting common issues.
