PowerToys Run: extensible quick launcher for power users
If you couple those two, you have a launcher that is able to find all files on your drive very fast (and launch applications of course).

Fluent Search
Run has plugins. I use https://github.com/lin-ycv/EverythingPowerToys to add Everything.
- Fluent search vs Flow launcher , which one do you prefer ? these are the best Windows launchers
- Search works great, doesn't it?

No Start Menu for You
PowerToys Run does seem to support some plug-ins though. I happily use https://github.com/lin-ycv/EverythingPowerToys to use Everything for bettler local search for example.

Upgraded to Windows 11 in hopes of a better search function. Am I doing something wrong? I look for "do" knowing I have a file on my pc called "do.txt" and the BEST MATCH is "Steam"? I'd bet I have opened the do.txt more than Steam by now too!

Launchy and related apps--again
There's a newly created and maintained LaunchyQt which works very well, nice and stable. I tried Listary for a while--very fast at both finding and indexing, but didn't play as well with scripts as Launchy did and needed to be installed, making it difficult to use in locked down work environments. Like Launchy, Listary had a prolonged period of not being maintained, but I am delighted to see a new version was uploaded just a couple of months ago. I may give it a try again.
