Could you build this?
Partial The search UI and previews are buildable with Tauri, but sub-25 ms search across a whole Windows drive requires a fast indexer, such as NTFS journal reading, and many file-format previewers.
What it would actually take: Build a Rust core that maintains a persistent in-memory or on-disk index, using NTFS MFT and USN journal reads for fast initial scans and change tracking, with a global hotkey and a Tauri front end. The hard parts are the low-level Windows filesystem indexing and the performance tuning to hit the latency target, plus safe rendering of many file types, which needs systems programming experience.
