pyFileSearcher

pyFileSearcher was designed to be lightweight, easy to use, but capable of handling a large volume of files tool. A tool that I personally could use on large corporate servers to find out - which files have taken all my space in the last few days? It's free, it's opensource, it's for linux and windows.

The program is written in Python 3 using the Qt5.

Features

Search by name, size, file type. Search by part of the path. Search for files listed in the index no earlier than N days ago
Saving information about deleted files, searching for them as well as for regular files
Ability to save search settings for future use
Ability to save search results in csv
Highlighting non-existent (deleted) files in search results
Fast calculation of the size of the directory (with subdirectories) according to data from the database
Logging access errors - you will know which folders were not indexed for some reason
Support for long paths (> 256 characters) in windows
Sqlite and MySQL support
