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

Because it didn’t index file contents back then.
Also, storage wasn’t cheap so people deleted stuff back then.
Also, that shit was slow back then too. Searching a file share was awful. Now it’s a magically federated index. It used to be so slow you could buy a google appliance for indexing your data.
