File indexing and search tool with specific features?
Hey Linux community,
I'm struggling with a file management issue and hoping you can help. I have a large media collection spread across multiple external hard drives. Often, when I'm looking for a specific file, I can't remember which drive it's on.
I'm looking for a file indexing and search tool that meets the following requirements:
Ability to scan multiple locations
Option to exclude specific folders or subfolders from both scan and search
File indexing for quicker searches
Capability to search indexed files even when the original drive is disconnected
Real-time updates as files change
Any recommendations for tools that meet most or all of these criteria? It would be a huge help in organizing and finding my media files.
Yes, they are all media but they are not specific to a single type of media. Today I may want to find a book and tomorrow a song with the same program. So the files can be literature, audio, movies, series, etc.
