Quick search through network drives on macOS?

Question

macOS

On Windows, I search using Everything , it returns query results instantly, incl. and from network drives. Spotlight on macOS seems to be fast too, but it doesn't find anything on network drives. To find something on a network drive, I use a third-party file manager, but it takes a long time to search, indexing the result in real time. What is the analogue of Everything for macOS or how to make Spotlight or Alfred search everywhere?

Answer 1

Spotlight can index the contents of a network drive, but not constantly, but once.
By the way, in Server.app there used to be the possibility of constant indexing, and even the rights to the indexes were set correct.

At the same time, Finder can search through the contents of network drives, but it doesn't do it very fast.
For example, for SAMBA there is a separate vfs_fruit module, which theoretically, if configured correctly, will speed up the search process from under macOS. It is also possible to add a whole elsaticsearch

But the fastest, of course, are separate programs that make the search index themselves.
