# Rust Explorer (REX)
## Overview
Rust Explorer (REX) is a simple command-line tool written in Rust that allows users to search for files on their system using a fast and efficient algorithm. The tool provides a user-friendly interface for selecting the drive, entering the file name, and quickly finding the file's location.
## Usage
1. Run the REX executable.
2. Select the drive where you want to search for the file.
3. Enter the name of the file you want to find.
4. Wait for the search to complete.
5. View the results, including file location and search duration.
## Available Platforms
- Windows

## Installation
### Windows
1. [Download the latest release](#) of REX for Windows.
2. Run the executable file.
(Instructions for other platforms will be added as support is implemented.)
## Features
- Fast and efficient file search.
