Geniune question: Why is search so slow in Windows?
The Test
- Old School: Run the following from a command prompt:
dir msdeploy.exe /a/s
- Normal: Use Windows 8.1 explorer to search for msdeploy.exe
The results
- The old school method found the file I was after in less than 2
seconds. - Windows Explorer is still searching for the file 5 mins later.
Why?
If anyone knows, I would be very interested.
Side Note:
Outlook 2013 search is pathetic too. I usually load the Office 365
online portal and asearch from there,.
