  1. Replace Windows Search with Everything Search/Anytxt Search


    In Explorer when you want to look for something, it uses Windows Search which is very slow. I've looked at Everything Search and Anytxt Search which are faster but are not integrated into Explorer. Is there any way I can force explorer to use their search instead and show the results in explorer just like Windows Search? I was told there are some third party tools that can do this, but I am not sure which. Or if there is a way to force the MS search protocol to use said apps, that would be great. Thanks in advance.

    :)

    Replace Windows Search with Everything Search/Anytxt Search

    Hi Nossy,

    Good day! This is and I will be happy to assist you with this.

    I am sorry to hear about the inconvenience. The 2 tools seem to be of a great help. Unfortunately, couldn't find ways on how to force windows to use its services automatically. These apps have to be launched manually and do the searching from there. Tweaks were available in changing windows search to use google search by using a third party extension Chrometana Pro. No such extensions are available to use Anytxt and Everything search.

    Reference article:

    Let me know how it goes. Have a great day!
