- digitallyfree 4y agoHonestly I've never really had search performance issues in Nautilus. Windows on the other hand...
- hbn 4y agoI haven't bothered with Windows' built in search (explorer, and god forbid the Start menu search) for finding files since discovering Everything https://www.voidtools.com https://www.voidtools.com I keep it pinned as the first item in my bottom row of programs so I can hit Win+1 to fire off an instantaneous file search whenever I want. It's great!
- jandrese 4y agoWindows search is godawful. Not only is it slow, but it explicitly omits a bunch of directories, like AppData in your home. Guess were most applications keep their user accessible data. It's so bad. If for example someone wants to install a GIMP plugin, you can't tell them to just search for the GIMP directory from their home, because the search simply won't find it.
- jotm 4y agoSearch was great in 7. Taskbar search - perfect. Then they did something to fuck it all up. In Windows 10, I get different results for the same search in Taskbar (that's how I launch everything, so if I type "Note" and open N++ a few times, that's it, it should remember it, which is how 7 worked). Explorer search isn't even working half the time for me lol, either it doesn't show any results or the search bar is completely inaccessible. Fuck knows what's wrong with it, I just use Agent Ransack.
- jandrese 4y agoThat "something" was integrating a Bing search into the process, just in case you were trying to find "how is babby made?" on your filesystem search.
