I tried to search for a file on my computer the other day using windows search.

Was absolutely incapable of doing it. Maybe if it walked away for a few hours it would have eventually found the file, but I didn't have that sort of time.

It would be nice if Microsoft could make sure the features it currently has, actually work, before trying to add a bunch of stuff no one was asking for.

Yeah windows search is terrible it's quicker to figure out how to do it with a terminal emulator.

What's the point of even searching I'd you can't grep?
