In depth
A closer look at Windows Search
Windows Desktop Search has been designed to offer the user a quicker and more convenient way to find any type of files, regardless of the local path they are stored in. Installing the tool automatically removes any previous instances and does not require a computer restart. However, immediately after the procedure the program starts indexing some of the items in order to offer access to them in a lightning-fast fashion. The tool is visible in the taskbar, near the system tray area and consists in a simple search bar where the query can be typed in.
