Comment on Why was file search much faster in Windows XP than in subsequent versions?

I don’t think it’s a coincidence that MS fixed Windows search when Google had its Google Desktop search product and Windows Search went back to horrible when Google discontinued Desktop Search.

You can find files faster on Windows by using the command line directly command with recursion switch and watch every directory tree scroll by until it finds the file than wait for the GUI even when Indexed.
