"Everything", https://www.voidtools.com

Fast indexing, instant search, does regex and other advanced searches.

For file managers, maybe Total Commander or One Commander.

Works great! exactly what I needed. Not only I found lost files easily, my Windows is installed on 256GB drive so I had to find out what's taking up space. Used to take so long to search in explorer something like size:>1gb, now I found ~40gb I could probably delete, about ~20gb of which is just cache stuff

Yeah, Everything is fantastic.

I've mapped Win+Alt+Space to activate Everything (Settings > Keyboard), then set "Clear Window on Execute" (Settings > General) to on.

Now a simple keypress gets me search, I can quickly navigate using cursor keys and on selection it closes the search window.

If I'm looking for something fancier I can use the keyboard shortcut, then Ctrl+R to enable Regex search and so on.

Fast and simple.

Second "Everything" it works, and is fast.
