Could you build this?
Partial A basic file browser with split panes and a modern UI is vibe-codeable in a framework like Tauri or Electron. Fast indexed search and previews for almost any file type require systems-level work.
What it would actually take: A real version would be a native or Tauri/Electron app using OS filesystem APIs, with a background indexer such as a journal or MFT reader for fast search. Previews across many formats need codec and document-rendering libraries that are complex to integrate. Performance tuning and OS-specific behaviour make this more than a vibe-coded app.
