How does this compare with launchy? https://www.launchy.net/ https://www.launchy.net/

  Launchy is closed source. However reputable the source, I wouldn't install a random closed source app just for searching the Start Menu.

    Yeah, but an unmaintained open source project have potential to be much more harmful.

  just gave it a try -- looks like it's hard-coded for 640x480 screens or something -- it renders so small I literally cannot read any of the text...

    Not hard-coded for a particular resolution but hard-coded for a particular DPI.

      Not hard coded for a particular DPI, it just doesn't take DPI into account since I always run with DPI settings set to 100%.

  I use Launchy in "Portable" mode (because my work PC is locked down and I may not install Launchy on it). After some 1) significant amount of config-tweaking, 2) learning curve involving moodiness on Launchy's part, and 3) learning about certain keyboard-shortcuts, it works like a charm. The fact that it's Portable is a HUGE plus to me. I'm going to give Jarvis and Wox Launcher test-drives, if they're available in Portable mode.

  Keyperhinha + Voidtools Everything + Autohotkey to override windows 10 protected bindings like win+s or simple win etc. I also always replace the start menu with classic start menu.
