    Suggestions on best "Search" utility. Accurate, deep, reliable


    Friends I have used Search Everything for years, blissfully ignorant of the fact that it misses, fails to find, all files meeting the given criteria/filters. It is no secret that Windows 10/8/7 search function isn't reliable in that regard either - it will miss files and can be awfully slow at times.

    What is the best Search Utility Money or Freebee can "buy"? "Best" meaning first of all accurate and thorough [can it defeat mis-set permissions for instance]. I am assuming [with actually zero evidence] that a so-called professional Forensics tool or kit would be in the top list but who knows... maybe they fail also and slide by because of users' convictions

    IE11 Google Toolbar no auto search suggestions, no search history?

    Since the last Win 10 update my Google Toolbar won't list any search suggestions as I type and there is no search history listed. The Google tool bar will allow a search, but after a few searches no search history shows and no "clear search" button is listed either.

    I have turnd on "Suggest searches as you type", and "store search histroy on my computer" in the Google Toolbar options.

    Any suggestions to fix this?

    I've used it in the distant past. As I recall, it's an aggressive utility, suggest you do some deep research before implementing it!
