Fix desktop search. The best attempt at a nice and convenient desktop search was the long forgotten Beagle Project. Instead of coming up with a whole new DE, it would IMO be much more useful to fix things that really don't work well in Gnome (or Budgie). One of these things is the desktop search. The good news is there are pretty good search utilities like Recoll and Drill, they just are not integrated into a combined view. Both could be combined into the Synapse launcher or as a Search Provider.
- what method does pop launcher uses to index files/folders?

I'm looking for a good search tool.
fsearch and drill are fairly similar. The Drill author wrote it because they missed Everything on Linux and fsearch also notes Everything as its inspiration. These are the 2 that come closest to Everything.

If you can't find what you saved, there is no point to any of this.
Gonna throw drill into the ring. It is explocitly not an indexed searcher. It drills through all filesystems accessible to your machine. If indexed searchers fail you, you will surely find it with drill if you know at least a part of the file's name.

Don't underestimate the appeal of small utilities. The elementary appcenter has nice little tools like this or this, and Mint has warpinator. Unity used to have some nice little helpers, too. For instance a HUD. Lets make a list of tools (or browse OMGUbuntu) and pick the top 20. Maybe includin this. Make them available on Pop and make the top 5 part of the default installation.
What are some alternatives?
dextool - Suite of C/C++ tooling built on LLVM/Clang
gnome-hud - Unity like HUD menu for the GNOME Desktop Environment using rofi menu.
fsearch - A fast file search utility for Unix-like systems based on GTK3
TMSU - TMSU lets you tags your files and then access them through a nifty virtual filesystem from any other application.
dlangui - Cross Platform GUI for D programming language
gabutdm - Gabut Download Manager
onedrive - Free Client for OneDrive on Linux
easyssh - The SSH connection manager to make your life easier.
