Comment Re:Wake Me Up When Search Works in File Explorer (Score 1) 46
How many times has search in File Explorer not found a file you know is present? How many times has it found a file that doesn't contain any of the search terms? How many times has it searched for hours? Microsoft has never managed to get search to work. For God's sake - f-in Mac OS Finder is able to reliably search and is fast.Command line find with grep is faster on Linux and Mac than anything in Windows except maybe find and grep in GitBash.
Microsoft is trying to be 'secure' by not using the MFT and instead creating its own 'best guess' based on users 'consent' locations.
"Everything" (my choice of MFT search), will be instant for 99% of your search needs as it just uses the MFT, and just shows *everything*I which i dunno, just works: https://superuser.com/question...
