I search for files, and it never seems to find them. Plus it only does one drive at a time, and not just searches my external drives. Any suggestions?

    tree -if and grep are another way to go.

    or, I’ve also seen some use du as part of their file search strategy. heh.

    strange ways.

        ncdu

        that’s fine if wanting a tui, like for its intended purpose, rather than something grepable/awkable/sortable/cutable/headable/tailable/etc. like better suited to file search
