ffind - sane replacement for command line file search

ffind allows quick and easy recursive search for files in the command line.

It’s designed to help you find a file you don’t know exactly where it is or how it’s called in a jungle of directories.

This is free and open source software.

Features include:

Search recursively on current directory by default.
Ignores hidden and source control files and directories by default, avoiding showing files you don’t care.
If the FILE_PATTERN is all in lowercase, the search will be case insensitive, unless a flag is set. Just write the search in lowercase to ensure maximum returns.
Will print colorized output in glamorous red (default), except on redirected output.
Can delete matched files, making very easy to clean compiled files, like .pyc or .o.
Input filename may be a full regex.
Regex can affect only the filename (default) or the full path.
Follow symlinks by default, but that can be deactivated if necessary to avoid recursion problems
Works in Python3! Older versions (until v1.3.1) are also Python 2.7 compatible for legacy support.
Can execute commands on matched files.
Experimental fuzzy search.
