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.

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Maybe it's Wox (https://github.com/Wox-launcher/Wox) which is no longer maintained.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/
- Wox: https://github.com/Wox-launcher/Wox

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?

Search results and Windows 10
Personally I avoid the start menu or anything related to Windows indexing. What I use is everything and wox.
