It's amusing (and infuriating) that file search - IMO, one of the most important features for a desktop O/S - has been utterly broken in Windows since Vista.
On Windows 10, half the time it just hangs with "Searching files", displaying zero results. The other half, search simply says "Nothing found", even when I know there is a match. I just tested it with %USERPROFILE%/.docker - open up File Explorer and search for ConfigVersion that appears in config.json. Nada.
I have to resort to cygwin/grep any time I want a search that actually works.
I never had this problem pre-Vista. I don't know how they managed to go backwards on such a fundamental feature.
