Lolcate currently stores its data as a lz4-compressed list of path names, and recreates it each time lolcate --update is run. It's as simple as you can get.

Although it works well enough for my taste, I'd be glad to consider alternatives.

I didn't want to create a separate issue for this, but I've found https://github.com/ozeidan/gosearch
Which seems to use "fanotify" - a Linux API that I was unaware of. It might be worth a shot to see if we can truly achieve real-time db update (and what the associated perf cost might be)

I'm aware of Everything (a Windows only tool) that used an NTFS specific API to update the index in near real-time.

There's also Deepin's anything which I believe uses a kernel module and is meant to be similar to Everything (I've read so on Reddit, can't read the README since it's in Chinese).
