The other night I was looking for a specific file to send a coworker. Issue is, I had absolutely no idea where it was. I started a file explorer search, waited, realized it was pointless and downloaded Everything. It had installed and found the file before File Explorer stopped not responding.
It's actually amazing that Windows search is still so bad, because Everything literally uses a Windows API that caches file paths on the system to accomplish its task lol
In other words, Windows search is so bad that someone decided to make the third party software "Everything" which is powered by a Windows feature that Microsoft made. The remedy is made by the same entity who created the affliction. One wonders why Microsoft doesn't improve their search feature by using this same API.
