Voidtools "Everything" is how we mimic a fraction of your power thank-you-very-much.
There are literally dozens of us Everything users.
please elaborate what this is about?
It is a file search engine that replaces your regular earth in Windows.
The everything search engine is flexible and fully indexed file search engine that you can use to find any file anywhere on your network or local storage, instantly, and only a little bit slower than instantly on a very slow old machine.
sounds impressive
It's what Windows search could have been. I don't know what kind of black magic they've got under the hood there but I think it's really just indexing and watching the file system for changes so that it can update the index in real time. This obviously doesn't work for a network resources that change frequently but still, it's very nice when you don't know where the hell anything is.
Everything is still far superior than plasma search and I can't imagine that gnome/other DEs get close to it neither. Fsearch is close but it needs to do a complete resacn every time you use it instead of scanning in the background like everything
