Search on Windows is completely pointless, it’s been broken for years at this point. I’ve installed PowerToys and use Command Palette now

It was never good when you compare to internet search.

On the internet I can search for "pictures of the eiffel tower". If I try the same on my own computer I expect to find photos from the time I took the family to paris... Yet I don't.

  • And yet Gnome and KDE have no troubles doing just that if you activate the corresponding plug-ins for the respective search engines (Tracker and Baloo). How you access them is a matter of taste, but both integrate into your runner dialog or launch menu, if you wish.
