Any SAYT can end up negating it's own time savings if there is any delay or reprocessing of the search term. I'm sure it's happened to most people; when using a SAYT system (such as Windows 10 search), you see your intended result come up and attempt to select it but the search results update and change just before you can reach it.

- allovernow 7y agoWhy does windows search suck so hard? I remember from day 1 it would totally miss files on disk that I regularly used and searched for. I would type in program names and it wouldn't find them even when they were accessable from the start bar menu. But it would eagerly return useless web results. Who even decided it was a good idea to add web search to the start menu?
- carlinmack 7y agoConversely the search in windows explorer has gotten much better on the Insider Fast/Slow track. It does what you expect and searches down the path almost as fast as Everything. Before even in shallow paths you would type something, it would spin, you'd press enter, you'd be brought to a big empty search results page that would slowly find things. I'm finding myself using Everything less and less.
