Also if you are looking for a replacement for find that is not a full tui then take a look at fd which works more like what the author expected from the find commad - fd <pattern>.

~~Plus, IIRC fd does breadth-first search, which leads to faster finds in the most common cases.~~

I've been corrected. fd doesn't do this; other find replacements exist that do, though.

I don't think so, where did you get that? Last I checked, they weren't interested in adding it. That's why tools like bfs exist.

Oh. I'm just straight up wrong about that; I thought I'd read that about it back when I first started using it regularly.

I'm just attributing it to some other tool. Bad info, sorry!

It's cool, thanks for correcting.
