Windows has been indexing files for over 20 years.
Back then I would turn it off as I didn't find the search function that usable, and more than once I've had a "clean and build" process fail because some file was open and being indexed, and since Windows locks files on read, the build could not delete the file and just aborted. So, I turned it off.
And then 'everything' search tool came with instant fuzzy find. A strange experience after years of buggy and slow MS indexation.
