They should implement simple search first, so I don't need to reach grep for everything. Then they should implement pdftotext and fuzzy search. Of course everything should work instantly for small folders. That would be enough for 99% people.
- JohnFen 2y agoA million times this. Windows search is, as near as I can tell, completely worthless and I have to install other utilities to have working basic search. I don't need or want anything fancy like semantic searching. I just want to be able to grep and find things by filename.
- Joe_Cool 2y agoThe server version called "Windows Search Services" was rather alright. It was even integrated into the Win7 Libraries and you could search through contents server-side from Explorer. It supported plugins and was reasonably fast. Needed a lot of RAM though and some admin to babysit it.
