Everything could do this but sometimes you don’t want to.
i.e. you’re trading off the background indexing resource usage for instant search results. On a consumer PC where you’re constantly on it and searching for stuff that’s worth it, on a remote server that you’re logging into to bug fix but is normally just running a headless application it may not be.
NTFS drives have an index built-in. It’s not fit for search, but it comes with a journal and you can update a search index incrementally. That’s what Voidtools Everything does. It’s very fast and doesn’t need a background index. (I assume modern Linux drive formats can do the same)
