Yeah Windows Search is useless. I'd recommend Everything[0]. Though, it's more for general file searching than searching for programs. Can't remember if it learns your habits and pushes them to the top or not. Regardless it's instantaneous and I almost never use the Windows search since I discovered it

- aqfamnzc 5y agoEverything is pretty much the only thing I miss from Windows. Maybe paint.net too. I haven't found a suitable Linux equivalent for either.
- wazzaps 5y agofsearch replaces "Everything" for me
- themodelplumber 5y agofsearch is fantastic. Bind it, or various configured states of it, to keystrokes and never look back...
- worble 5y agoI quite like pinta as a paint.net replacement. Don't think it's as feature complete, but hits that ease of use sweet spot for really quick crops or adding text, etc.

- mmerlin 5y agoThanks "Everything" looks like something I will install and use. I previously used a manually-triggered disk search indexer called Cathy.exe which works well [1] For "real time (i.e. without the pre-cached index) live searches of filenames and/or contents by keyword/grep I like "Agent Ransack" [2] It's one of the few things I always use on every windows machine I login to [1] https://cathy.en.lo4d.com/windows https://cathy.en.lo4d.com/windows [2] https://www.mythicsoft.com/agentransack/ https://www.mythicsoft.com/agentransack/
