Ultrafast, super lite file search on Windows, Voidtools "Everything": https://www.voidtools.com/support/everything/ https://www.voidtools.com/support/everything/
I haven't touched the Windows Search utility since I found it.
- sixothree 4y agoEverything paired with AstroGrep (or your favorite grep program) is the ultimate pair for searching on Windows. We pretty much force new devs to install these otherwise we watch them struggle for way too long.
- frizzlebox 4y agoEverything is a godsend and ought to be built into Windows. Agent Ransack (free for commercial use) and FileLocator Pro (paid, has near-instant indexed search) are the go to grep alternatives for Windows on my dev team. https://www.mythicsoft.com/ https://www.mythicsoft.com/ I also hear VS Code has ripgrep built in, but I haven’t used it extensively.
- smusamashah 4y agoI use RipGrep with it.
- radicalriddler 4y agoYup, Everything is a godsend. It also makes it more likely for me to download a portable exe instead of a full install because I can quick search for the exe, where as windows search struggles.
- Alifatisk 4y agoEverything combined with Wox
- aagha 4y agoLoved Wox. Try Fluentsearch.
- dr_kiszonka 4y agoI have been using listary but this looks amazing!
- Alifatisk 4y agoThat's a gorgeous app, thank you! Update: Just tried it, I think I'll stick to Wox, Wox feels "snappy".
- gadders 4y agoI use Launchy which I really like.

- Sugimot0 4y agoI switched to linux a long time ago so now i use plocate, but on windows everything was a must! Also directory opus was a nice file manager, not sure if there's a new/better foss alternative yet.
