I spent a couple of minutes thinking of a good example of search. Google? No more by a long shot, Amazon also a cesspool. Finder finds too many irrelevant files (no matter what I type it returns a huge list of node_modules matches), this one might be on me. Search on Windows I haven't bothered in years.
The only search tools that actually give me great value are history shell with fzf on the terminal, and grep (and similar like ag or ripgrep) in combination with a fuzzy search frontend (similar to piping grep to fzf).
I don't know where I'm going with this. I guess searching just sucks now.
- miki123211 3y agoLaunchbar on Mac and Everything on Windows are pretty great, though they solve very different problems.
