I second that with a proper indexed search tool one can stop bothering keeping track of folders hierarchy. You just type in the name of the file and you get it!

However, after using Recoll[0] on Linux Desktop for years, I have to say that searching by file contents is even more convenient than searching by a filename.
And... I have to admit that unfortunately the current state of indexed search (file contents) in Windows 10 is "hit and miss".
I have tried to re-index the whole drive several times, but still, you don't know if the query that you type in with `Win + S` will return any results. Even when you know that it shall.
