I like this as an alternative when I know what I'm looking for. Searching in Windows using PowerToys Run. Just enter the search phrase like this: ?yourSearch Searching directly from the Run bar is as easy as entering ?and then any phrase. That, of course, was some 15 years ago at least. Perhaps that's my belief because I usually searched for files using Total Commander, which did a stellar job. The search in Windows was never really optimal. I'm bringing up the PowerToys Run dialog with Alt+Space, but as you can see in the screenshot, you can modify to fit your style. In this post in particular, I want to briefly hand out some productivity tips about PowerToys Run, allowing you to quickly launch apps and run commands. Microsoft PowerToys is a set of utilities for power users to tune and streamline their Windows 10 experience for greater productivity. In recent remote calls while sharing my screen, I've been asked about the productivity tools I'm making use of to quickly search, calculate, or launch apps.
