About:
FuzzyFind (ff) is a command-line utility that performs fast, recursive file searching using substring matching rather than complex glob patterns. It intelligently filters results from entire directory trees, helping users quickly locate files without needing to remember exact paths or names. The tool prioritizes speed and simplicity, making it ideal for navigating large codebases or cluttered file systems.
Key Features:
  • Recursive directory traversal with high performance
  • Simple substring matching instead of regex
  • Filters results by file type or extension
  • Lightweight and dependency-free
Use Cases:
  • Locating configuration files deep in a project directory
  • Finding source files by partial name in large codebases
Alternatives:
  • find – Standard Unix tool; more verbose syntax but more powerful filtering options
  • fzf – Interactive fuzzy finder; requires user input, whereas ff is non-interactive
