What is it?
Everything, by voidtools, is a search tool for Windows that finds files and folders by name almost instantly. Instead of slowly crawling your drive like Windows Search, it builds a lightweight index of every filename up front, so results appear as fast as you can type. It's tiny, free, and once you've used it the built-in search feels broken by comparison.
Who should use it?
Anyone who loses files on a cluttered PC, and power users who want to jump to any file in a second — especially on machines with huge numbers of files.

- Tiny footprint and near-instant startup
