While the Windows Search function is vastly improved, Everything is an administrative tool that locates files and folders by filename instantly for Windows 10/8/7. It locates files and folders by name before you blink your eyes!

EVERYTHING search software

Unlike Windows search “Everything” initially displays every file and folder on your computer. You type in a search filter and it will then limit what files and folders are displayed.

Features:

Small installation file
Clean and simple user interface
Quick file indexing
Quick searching
Minimal resource usage
Share files with others easily
Real-time updating
Size, Dates and Attributes Indexing
Fast Sorting
Thumbnails
Preview Pane
ReFS Support
Advanced Search
Multi-file Renaming
Content Searching
Fast Reindexing.

Everything indexes files very fast too! It only uses file and folder names and generally takes a few seconds to build its database. A fresh install of Windows of say about 20,000 files, will take about 1 second to index! 1,000,000 files will take about 1 minute. That’s how fast it is!
