Speed up searches for bin/paths

wmertens opened this issue · comments

Perhaps an extra index could be built that only contains bin and sbin paths, and only allows full string search?

The problem is that nix-index is a lot slower than command-not-found: NixOS/nixpkgs#39789 (comment)

for small systems, it would also be nice to /only/ have the binaries in the db, but that's a different issue I guess.
