I stopped using windows search a while ago.

It is unreasonably slow. Everything (the app) indexes every file on all of your drives in seconds, then filters the list instantly as you type.

When I start typing an application name that has a shortcut in the start menu, it shouldn't take seconds to find, period. There is no excuse. I'm shocked how bad windows search is every time I have to use it on another machine.

After trying multiple application launchers, I've settled with UELI. It does a lot of things (much more than windows search), instantly.
