Am I the only one that absolutely hates Windows 8.1 indexing and search?
When I use the search box in explorer it takes a minute to search through a 2tb hdd. This is despite the fact that the drive is fully indexed and the background indexing is literally constantly chugging the drive to death. I even disabled content indexing to conserve resources. In addition, it seems like virtually any keywords pull up dozens if not thousands of unrelated entries.
I miss my old Win XP F3 key file search which pulled up all files virtually instantly. How can such a basic critical function be so worthless?
Should I disable indexing and go to a third party indexing app?
