Hi
Just wants to hop on and say big thanks to who ever developed this tool.
Been missing a nice quick search feature in windows 10 for literaly years, got so sick and tired of the crudy defaults MS calls a search feature these days and OMG could not believe how quick this was at making accessing all my files super easy again.

Windows Search is not bad but it has big implementation issues that start from the way it interacts with the user, how it creates its index and many more. I think what Microsoft offered in Windows XP was the last search for everyone. It is inadmissible to provide us with a small box in Windows Explorer or Taskbar for entering strings related to file names and if we want to search advanced we must read about the syntax in Windows Desktop Search. And that small box is "perfect" for inserting filters that we can scroll so that they are no longer visible. I have been working with Linux distributions for a very long time, Windows Search is far from what the command line of any Linux offers (find, grep, sort, ...).
Everything is a must have tool (I am using it for only two weeks). If you use it at work I would recommend taking care not to expose it. With its help information can be immediately obtained even by a novice, for example which files you have accessed recently, what you downloaded. The portable version installed "somewhere", without links in the Start menu or on the Taskbar is preferable.
