Windows search is a joke: what alternative software do you suggest?
EverythingToolbar
- What's the point of having a search function in Windows 11 if it can't find items? "Everything" found the program I was looking for and its folder in literally real time while I was typing what I was looking for.

Charms Bar Port: a new program I made to replicate Windows 8.x charms bar for Windows 10/11. Any suggestions?
Please integrate both Windows Search (native) and EverythingToolbar (and/or Everything only) search with your Charms bar -- and give the user the option to choose which one they want (or none at all, and then disable/hide the Search button).

As good as it gets, or...
Everything Toolbar is a great app to use in tandem with Everything Search
- Windows 10 Large file search...How?
- It's all just Chromium

What happened to the search function in Windows 10? Why is it so useless?
You can also replace the stock taskbar search with Everything using this: https://github.com/srwi/EverythingToolbar

Why do you hate us, Microsoft? Biggest mistake was "upgrading" to Windows 11 in the first place
Everything with EverythingToolbar - for finding folders really quickly ueli - a keystroke launcher ShareX - much better alternative to the snipping tool imo Microsoft PowerToys - a bunch of cool features from Microsoft that aren't implemented in windows KDE Connect - a way to connect your smartphone and computer and not use Microsoft's Link to Windows tool (I've had some times where the windows versions of this app wouldn't recognize anything, your experience may vary)

Microsoft should improve the performance of file explorer Search. It's very slow.
There's even a way to add it to your toolbar https://github.com/srwi/EverythingToolbar

We released a new powerful efficiency tool called RunFlow, which is similar to PowerToys and Alfred, welcome to try it
RunFlow is a cross-platform productivity tool which can launch apps and search files and more, that similar to Wox and PowerToys on Windows, and also similar like Alfred and Raycast on macOS. But we have differences with these tools, and we have our own unique new features. Right now, at the below, we will introduce you what features of RunFlow have been implemented in more details. It's an amazing journey, let's start.

Keypirinha: A fast launcher for keyboard ninjas on Windows
I find Wox (which also uses Everything) a really great quick launcher, it saves a lot of time.

Just formated my PC, and I forgot a certain Windows search software that I had
Maybe it's Wox (https://github.com/Wox-launcher/Wox) which is no longer maintained. Out of all these Spotlight alternatives, I think Fluent search is the best https://github.com/adirh3/Fluent-Search

Sol: Open-source Alfred/Raycast alternative for macOS
I shared the exact same sentiment when I transitioned to Windows after a long period of only using macOS. I eventually began building a launcher myself using C# and over time it has become my daily driver. Feel free to check it out at https://github.com/dkgv/pinpoint, PRs welcome :-)
A few other nice candidates I found include:
- Keypirinha: https://keypirinha.com/

I am genuinely curious - why Microsoft thinks this is an acceptable default search behavior?
Other options that are open source are wox, cerebro and flow launcher
-
Microsoft says Windows 11 File Explorer ads were ‘not intended to be published externally’
Have a look at PowerToys Run - based on Wox, open-source, and officially MS-backed.
- I thought they've fixed it already?

In response to the desktop organization post 2 electric boogaloo
For anyone in need of a functional search in windows: I recommend Wox, it uses the everyhig searoh engine and it works flawlessly
