Files
Unicode-normalized matching over current filenames and relative paths. Results navigate to the file but never become citations by themselves.
AI folder search
Search the folder. Not an uploaded collection.
Choose an ordinary folder and find files by name or path, search indexed passages, or ask a question across exactly the files and folders you select.
File and content search remain fast, deterministic, and model-free. Ask is a separate local generation step.

Open the result to inspect its current source passage. A filename match is navigation—not evidence.
Three different jobs
Search stays useful without pretending to be AI.
FileNyani keeps deterministic navigation, inspectable content evidence, and generated answers separate so you always know what kind of result you are looking at.
Content
Lexical search over locally indexed passages. Each result carries a real evidence reference and readable location.
Ask
Retrieves bounded candidates, re-reads current source evidence, then asks the prepared local model for a cited answer.
Explicit scope
Ask exactly the part of the folder you care about.
Select a file, several unrelated files, a whole folder, or mixed subtrees. Navigation does not silently change the active Ask scope.
Open folderMetadata appears before content indexing or model loading.
FindLocate known files and passages immediately.
Select scopeChoose the sources relevant to the question.
AskGenerate from bounded, revision-checked evidence.
Search and Ask are bounded.
Finding no retrieved passage does not prove that a fact is absent from every file. Large-folder overviews are representative, and generated answers remain subject to model error.
Start with Find. Prepare AI only when you need it.
