Listary 7.1 Beta is here | Rewritten in Rust: up to 4× faster, 34% less memory (Oct 8)

Listary 7.1.0.43 Beta is out. It brings three main improvements and fixes a number of issues you reported here.


New: see how fast search is on your PC

Open Options > About to see how long a search takes on your computer, how many files Listary can find, and how many times a day you open it. You can also run a speed test that times five common searches.

Post a screenshot of your speed test result in this thread. We’d love to see how fast it is on your PC.


About 50 MB less memory

Memory use is now 34% lower than in 7.0.

Korean initial-consonant search

Type only the initial consonant of each syllable. For example, ㄱㅅ finds 감사.txt.

Other improvements

  • Multiple File Search Windows can be open at the same time again, as in earlier versions.
  • “Do not index” is renamed to “Exclude from search results”. These files are still indexed, but don’t show up in results.
  • The Twitter web search is renamed to X, and its keyword is now x.
  • Several fixes for Quick Switch and the search bar in file dialogs.
