# Finder: CLI searcher and browser REPL

## About

Finder is a terminal-based searcher.

It's like [ranger][], but with a search-like interface.

It aims to replace the fatigue of frequently using [find][] + [grep][]
combinations for finding files, but it's also intended for searching and
browser other contents such as file lists, spreadsheets and remote queries.
