8.1.0 find the targets very slow in a large directory when using fzf. 8.0.0 works well.

Hi,

I am using fd as the default command of fzf. After updating to the latest version, I find it is very slow to find the target in a large directory (like home).

For FZF, I set export FZF_DEFAULT_COMMAND="fd --hidden --follow --exclude .git". Then I run fzf under my home directory. Next, I type a directory name which is right under home directory say .config, and it will take very very long to find ~/.config. It shows many files under ~/Library which I do not care about. I attached a screenshot below. You can see that ~/.config won't show up even though it has scanned 1080073 entries.

Before updating fd and I cannot remember which version it was, it works very well. When I type .config, it will show up almost immediately. The results could be adjusted automatically based on which query I typed so that my target will show up right away. For example, when I typed .config, it would not show me all those Library/..../config which I did not care about, and instead it would show ~/.config. Very smart.

What version of fd are you using?

fd 8.1.0

Which operating system / distribution are you on?

macOS 10.15.4 (the latest)

Thank you very much!!

Update1:

To be clearer, I put two GIF below (this time I ran fzf under home and tried to search a directory, ~/gitrepos):

1). I didn't set fzf default command, which means let fzf use the default find. When I started to type gitrepos, the targets appeared immediately.

2). I set fzf default command to fd --type f. This time when I started to type gitrepos, the targets wouldn't appear until all entries were scanned.

Update2:

I just now deleted the latest version of fd and re-installed version 8.0.0 (with brew install https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/homebrew-core/d874b06712ec20efd86f2fbf20e97aa2f24e9f5b/Formula/fd.rb). The original performance is back. So I am sure the latest version has a bug. Thank you!
