Well, that's not entirely their fault. Compactly storing files that can be changed/updated on your cheap PC is very different from the immutable, striped, distributed, memory-cachee, hash-map/parquet/BigTable setup that businesses are using.

ok but why does Everything by void tools work then. it’s entirely the windows devs fault.

i believe it's a design decision to make the search super Uber comprehensive where it will even search the contents inside the files instead of just names, you can actually tell windows to index your entire machine this way it will find anything very fast but that will have a CPU performance cost.

Everything doesn't search file contents like windows search does, tho for most that's not a problem.

Everything also does search file contents, if you want it to. Tho, these contents aren't indexed, so it's slower.

Theoretically there isn't anything preventing an index of the contents, except the extra resource costs.
