Hey Product Hunt 👋 I built fanSearch because I was tired of two things: search tools that silently uploaded my file index to the cloud, and "local" search that choked whenever I opened a large log file or PDF archive. I believe search is infrastructure, not a service. Your computer should be able to find its own contents without asking permission from a server. So I made something that indexes exactly what you want, stores it locally, and opens massive files before you finish blinking. The index is 100% under your control. Want to index only your ~/Projects folder? Fine. Want to exclude .git and node_modules? Easy. Want to rebuild the index at 3 AM because you're a night owl? Go for it. I'd love your honest feedback, especially if you regularly work with large documents or are particular about what runs on your machine. What formats should I add next? What would make this your default search tool? Thanks for checking it out.
