Searching a file on your Windows PC is sometimes very frustrating. It takes a good amount of time to search a file because of its indexing process. It makes a bit more frustrating when you a need a file buried deep down in your hard-disk or the file you saved 5 years ago and don't have a clue where it can be. Here, comes my favorite Windows search engine, Everything.

##Everything##

This super-small lightweight free software searches your millions of files as you type (like real-time). No more waiting and seeing "searching...". Trust me, Its blazing fast.
