A year ago I wrote a post called Windows 7 Search Sucks! and it has without question, been the most popular post I have ever written. The reason for this should be obvious to anyone that has tried to use this feature of Windows 7. I had hoped that the problems with it were due to it being in beta, but my hopes were dashed as soon as it went RTM.
If you are in the same boat as the rest of that hate this feature, there are alternatives. My favorite that I have continually gone back to time and time again is called “Everything”. While it is probably not the best name for a search engine, it does do an excellent job.
Maybe the Microsoft employees that read this blog could put some pressure on the Search Team to actually do something about Windows 7. In its current state it is an embarrassment to both Windows 7 and Microsoft.
