  That's a good one, but I was thinking of https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Google_Desktop https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Google_Desktop > Google Desktop was a computer program with desktop search capabilities, created by Google for Linux, Apple Mac OS X, and Microsoft Windows systems. It allowed text searches of a user's email messages, computer files, music, photos, chats, Web pages viewed, and the ability to display "Google Gadgets" on the user's desktop in a Sidebar. Discontinued in September 2011

    Google desktop was so great. It’s also weird how bad windows search and Mac search sucks. Google desktop was able to find files anywhere in milliseconds. Still today if I search for a file on windows it takes many seconds and frequently misses the file. And there’s an indexing service that seems to peg my cpu every once in a while.

      You want Everything. I've been using it for probably close to 10 years now, it makes searching on Windows not just bearable, but capable.
