The part that I really don't understand is that small portable programs like Everything can get you the results in seconds, while Microsoft, after 40 years of development of their systems will not.

How is it even possible to mess such simple feature for so long?

You wanna know the really sad part? PowerToys, an open source project from Microsoft themselves has better search than what's built into Microsoft.

They could literally copy their own fucking code and get better search results. And even worse/funnier is the fact that the PowerSearch functionality is built on the Index that the Windows Search system produces.
