About:
Cardinal Search is a high-performance file searching tool designed for speed and efficiency. It utilizes optimized algorithms to rapidly scan and locate files across your system, significantly outperforming traditional search utilities. This makes it an ideal solution for developers and power users managing large codebases or extensive file systems.

  • Real-time indexing and results
  • Command-line interface (CLI)
  • Lightweight and low resource usage
Use Cases:
  • Locating specific files in large code repositories
