FastFind.NET

Ultra-high performance cross-platform file search library for .NET 10

Packages

Package	Version	Description
FastFind.Core		Core interfaces, SIMD string matching, StringPool
FastFind.Windows		NTFS MFT direct access, USN Journal sync
FastFind.Unix		Linux parallel enumeration, inotify monitoring
FastFind.SQLite		FTS5 persistent index

Key Features

Cross-Platform SIMD: Vector256/Vector128 auto-dispatch (AVX2, SSE2, NEON) — 1.87M ops/sec
MFT Direct Access (Windows): 31K+ files/sec NTFS enumeration, 30x faster than standard APIs
Parallel BFS Enumeration (Linux): Channel-based depth-aware parallel traversal
Real-Time Monitoring: USN Journal (Windows) / inotify (Linux)
SQLite FTS5: Persistent full-text search index
Memory Optimized: 60-80% reduction via StringPool interning
Auto Platform Detection: ModuleInitializer auto-registration

Installation

dotnet add package FastFind.Core

# Platform-specific (auto-registered at runtime)
dotnet add package FastFind.Windows    # Windows
dotnet add package FastFind.Unix       # Linux

dotnet add package FastFind.SQLite     # Optional: persistent index

Quick Start

using FastFind;

// Platform auto-detected — creates Windows or Linux engine
using var engine = FastFinder.CreateSearchEngine();

await engine.StartIndexingAsync(new IndexingOptions
{
    SpecificDirectories = [@"D:\Projects"],         // Windows
    // MountPoints = ["/home", "/opt"],             // Linux
    ExcludedPaths = ["node_modules", ".git", "bin", "obj"],
    CollectFileSize = true
});

while (engine.IsIndexing) await Task.Delay(500);

var results = await engine.SearchAsync(new SearchQuery
{
    BasePath = @"D:\Projects",
    SearchText = "controller",
    ExtensionFilter = ".cs",
    MaxResults = 100
});

await foreach (var file in results.Files)
{
    Console.WriteLine($"{file.Name} ({file.SizeFormatted}) - {file.DirectoryPath}");
}
