qmd — Fast Local Markdown Search

When to Use

• Finding files — use instead of find across large directories (avoids hangs)
• Searching notes/docs — semantic or keyword search in indexed collections
• Code discovery — find implementations, configs, or patterns
• Context gathering — pull relevant snippets before answering questions

Quick Reference
