I wasn't aware of Everything - seems interesting. Are there equivalents to these that you like on Linux?

I use fzf on Linux for the same thing. Just stick it in an xdg-open and alias it.

As for pdfs and stuff, zathura, Okular, Calibre, or whatever ships with the distro are usually fine.

FSearch is intended to be an alternative to Everything. However it doesn't have feature parity (and probably won't ever have due to some platform limitations on Linux). Disclaimer: I'm the author of FSearch.

I also like to use fzf a lot, which is an amazing search utility (not only for finding files) for the terminal.
