# fd Plugin

A fast and user-friendly alternative to `find`.

## Commands

### Find
- `fd find run` — Find files by pattern
- `fd find extension` — Find files by extension
- `fd find type` — Find files by type (file, directory, etc.)

## Usage Examples
- "Find all markdown files"
- "Search for files named test"
- "Find all directories"
- "Find executables"

## Installation

```bash
cargo install fd-find
# or
brew install fd
```

## Examples

```bash
# Basic search
fd "pattern"

# Find by extension
fd -e md

# Find files (not directories)
fd -t f

# Find directories
fd -t d

# Case insensitive (default)
fd "PATTERN"

# Regex search
fd "^src"

# Full path search
fd -p "src"
```
