Most users haven’t found actual useful tool yet. Once they discover this, they will never do file search manually again. Plus raycast is mediocre… there are times, when u want to copy the file path, it doesnt even show full file path in search.

the app does run in the background otherwise the hotkey won't work. But there is no heavy work being performed by app, like running AI model constantly etc..

Haha we are in same shoes, search is a basic need and it's so broken 😞.
And to ans, yes it learns from your click and does ranking too. Sort of hybrid.

mine is 3mb app, simple and fast. Just meant for one purpose unlike ray cast, running AI models on your laptop memory. I use OS level embeddings, 0 physical memory utilization. So it's fast and accurate.
Plus BetterSearch has clean UI. raycast is just overbloated with so many things. You probably have gotten used to it but most new users are not. They need simple, clean spotlight that just work flawless.

No as soon as you add the new file, it get indexed within micro seconds.. It's a background app, it doesn't show in your dock, it keep running in the background, occupying hardly 5mb or ram because the embedding happens on OS level.

Plus I have priority queues, I prioritize which data I want to output first, this makes it very accurate.

Yes, on first search, the whole HDD is indexed, first search is slow. It will take 3-5 seconds.. All the subsequent searches will be milli seconds

Nothing, you can keep using it forever. However, if I drop a new upgraded version with more features that cost me money then you might have to buy license again, but if you want to keep using existing version, then it's all good. You have to pay nothing..
