There are a lot of tools that try to improve upon search times in Linux land, locate
is the most famous of them. Which just crawls the entire disk, builds a single database, on which future searches can happen. Updating the database takes ~40 seconds on my machine (and is done at every boot i think.)
If it is even possible, a faster way would be to sift through the file catalog to build a database (this is what Everything does on NTFS.)

searchfs is intended for use on macOS systems, which typically use either HFS+ or AFPS. The entire point is that it does not perform indexing but rather a live search of the filesystem catalogue. Building a locate-style database and searching it would be a different project altogether, though such a catalogue could certainly be built quickly using searchfs.
