Search Files & Find Duplicates

The find command provides specialized file operations including duplicate detection.

Important: find query is Deprecated

The find query subcommand will be removed soon. Please migrate to the search command, which now provides all query functionality.

Quick Migration Guide

Simply replace find query with search. All options work the same:

find query --path-filter "*.pdf" search --path-filter "*.pdf"
find query --save-query myquery search --save-query myquery
find query --base-query myquery search --from-query myquery

Note: --base-query has been renamed to --from-query for clarity.
