MES — My Everything Search

A Windows thing has been made (for me, maybe for you). It's a launcher to search for stuff on your PC. You press Alt + Space, type, and it finds files before you finish typing. There may be bugs.

Why? Why not? Everything (the search engine MES is built on) is absurdly fast, but I wanted some extra tricks ontop.

I am aware other launchers exist, but this one is mine.

MES searching for "report" — matching apps listed at the top, files with their paths, sizes and dates below.
Alt + Space, type, donezo.

What it does

  • Type anything → instant file search. Thanks once again to Everything by David Carpenter.
  • = 15/100 * 340 → inline calculator, Enter to copy.
  • w or w Gothenburg -3day → weather, very nice. (WIP, there are bugs yet) (from wttr.in)
  • fx 100 USD EUR → currency conversion with live ECB rates. (from frankfurter.app)
  • r steam → find and launch installed apps.
  • c or /clip (or just press ↓ on an empty box) → your Windows clipboard history. Enter to paste it straight back where you were, Delete to forget it.
  • /largest → the 50 biggest files hogging your disk.
  • /ai find invoices from last month → plain-English file search, running entirely on your own machine. If you don't like AI that's fine. It never activates unless you explicitly install it

There's also a plugin system (using Javascript) to add your own /command.

MES calculator: = 15/100 * 340 evaluates to 51.
= — a calculator that follows you around.
MES currency conversion: 100 USD equals 87.78 EUR at live ECB rates.
fx — live currency conversion.
MES weather: 17 degrees and sunny in Sundbyberg, Sweden.
w — weather, wherever you are.
MES clipboard history showing recently copied snippets of text.
/clip — everything you've copied.
MES /largest listing the biggest files on disk, from hiberfil.sys at 12.7 GB down.
/largest — find what's eating your disk.

What it doesn't do

It doesn't do a lot of things.

Want to try it out?

You can get it on Ko-fi (Pay What You Want).
Alternatively, just grab it from the Github releases directly.
