FileSeek
FileSeek is a simple-to-use file-search app that also offers advanced functionality for power users. You can search for files using either regular expressions or simple queries. You can even sync search settings between computers. FileSeek uses multithreading technology for faster searches. This allows it to outperform any Windows search. FileSeek does not use background search indexing and will not slow down your computer when it is closed. Save your search criteria as an index profile to reduce your workload. To make your life easier, you can save, load, or modify the most commonly used searches. FileSeek's tabbed search interface makes it easy to start a new search without waiting for a search to be completed.

Everything
"Everything" is a search engine that instantly locates files and folders based on filenames for Windows. "Everything", unlike Windows search, displays all files and folders on your computer. To limit the number of files and folders displayed, you can use a search filter. "Everything" does not index file and folder names. It takes about a minute to build its database. It takes about 1 second to index a fresh Windows 10 install (roughly 120,000 files). All files can be searched using the content, search function. Searching for content in files is slow because they are not indexed. A fresh installation of Windows 10 (about 120,000) will take approximately 14 MB of RAM and less than 9MB of disk space. 1,000,000 files will require approximately 75 MB of RAM and 45 MB of storage space. Search windows will reflect any changes to the file system. "Everything" will work on Windows XP and Vista, Windows 7, Windows 8, Windows 8 or Windows 10.
