no way windows search will ever replace Everything. Windows search is slow and it will not find whatever document you want 90% of the time.

- sz4kerto 13y agoWell, it's very-very fast in 8.1. I don't know why it does not find the document you want - it works quite well for me, YMMV obviously.
- maxerickson 13y agoHave you used Everything? It is instant file name search. I guess recent Windows could have improved file name searching, but it has classically been pretty bad.
- nightski 13y agoActually not really if you set up an index on C:\ it is quite fast, which is basically the main difference. But there is not one by default so you need to add it.
- alan_cx 13y ago"will not find whatever document you want 90% of the time" Absolute rubbish.
- recursive 13y agoApparently different people have different experiences. For me, it doesn't work about two thirds of the time.
