It’s far faster. Ripgrep has to search every file exhaustively at query time. Windows Search indexes every file at write time (or a background job) so the search results are near instantaneous
… at least, that’s how it used to work. I don’t know what happened to it over the past 5-10 years.
is it ripgrep level of “crazy fast” tho?

Why can’t ripgrep? “Everything” search does this. https://www.voidtools.com/downloads/
We all know the answer to this.
I would argue it used to be faster since it was indexed.
Not going to install win 11 to find out if it’s any good again. But in 7 it was.
