I tried to search for a file on my computer the other day using windows search.
Was absolutely incapable of doing it. Maybe if it walked away for a few hours it would have eventually found the file, but I didn't have that sort of time.
It would be nice if Microsoft could make sure the features it currently has, actually work, before trying to add a bunch of stuff no one was asking for.
MS PowerToys has a Search feature that works like Mac Finder called PowerToys Run.. And it works as you'd expect it. I've largely started using that over the standard windows search, and the difference is hitting
win + space(default:alt + space) instead ofwinbefore typing my search.Yeah windows search is terrible it's quicker to figure out how to do it with a terminal emulator.
What's the point of even searching I'd you can't grep?
