Rant God I hate Windows sometimes

^ Oh, I use both. Everything for most searches but right-clicking a folder to invoke Agent Ransack while keeping the Everything window in view with its set of hits can be handy too!

^ Yes exactly, it has no impact on seek or file access times, just makes a database of files so they aren't scanned on every search.

I have no use for indexing because I use the lovely Everything search app. Once you learn the syntax it's quite powerful. If you don't want to learn, still does more than MS search ever could.

I think that the point is that it impacts seek and file access times while its scanning all your files to make a database. Which it used to do at the most random of times!
