This repository is a fork, a collection of changes that make this program
work better in terms of asthetics and performance. Improved search,
simplified ui (without removing features) and more secure and up-to-date
build are just a few examples.
There are a few more changes needed to get it to a stable status where it
will only recieve security updates. These changes are mentioned above.

## Look
This is how desktop search looks in 0.1.3, the styling will be further refined in the next version.

## Performance
Search Performance - 100x faster search. However, this will be at expense of RAM. if you have < 1 million
files and folders in the given scope, the RAM usage should be less than 200MB total. RAM requirements
should scale based on the number of directories.
Also , the approx. time to fully index will vary widely based on performance. A sufficiently performant
system should fully index within the first 5 minutes, potentially within the first few seconds.
For example, a low end 11th gen i5 with SSD indexes 86K files within 1 second:
```
