Could you build this?
Partial A basic file search GUI is simple, but achieving sub-10ms indexing across a million files on macOS without using Spotlight requires low-level filesystem event APIs and custom in-memory prefix/trigram index data structures.
What it would actually take: The architecture requires a native Swift or Rust macOS daemon listening to the FSEvents kernel API to capture file changes in real time, combined with an in-memory compacted triadic/radix tree or SQLite FTS5 index for fast search. The hard part is building an ultra-fast initial disk crawler, custom Pinyin phonetic transliteration matching, and ensuring minimal memory footprint and zero UI stuttering under high disk activity.
