Windows Search: Below we will see a command that can search for files much faster than Windows Explorer.
Searching for a file through Windows Explorer can take forever. But there is a much faster way if you are willing to use it line his orders functional you.
Use the command below to search for any disk and you'll usually be done in a few minutes seconds.
To open a command prompt box in Windows press together two Win+R keys. In the box that opens, type cmd and press Enter.
Or, in the Windows search box, type cmd and open the Command Prompt window from there.
Let's look at the command:
dir "\ iguru *" / s
If your order is Chinese, we will try to explain it below:
dir is a command used to display files in the current folder, but it can display files anywhere on the system.
The slash requires searching from the root of the current unitdisk.
The / s command tells the dir to look for all the subdirectories.
Finally, the asterisk (*) is used by the command line as a wild card. So a command like * .txt will show you all the files ending in ".txt", while iguru * will show you all the filenames starting with "iguru"
That's it. Create your own command and you will be surprised at the speed of your system's search response.
Note that the command will not work on PowerShell.

I also tried the Voidtools Everything program suggested by my friend and I confess that I was impressed.
As for dir it is good but it works under DOS with all that implies for features and usability
There is always Voidtools Search Everything which offers instant search on all disks, external as well, using logical operations. One of the first programs I install on any system. It's worth covering with one of your articles!
