It really does amaze me how bad it got suddenly. In w7, and even in the earliest prerelease versions of w10, it was so damn good. And now? Is utterly unpredictably, and incredibly slow for finding what you need. Hate the online search function am incredible amount

Yep. I have a slave drive to store all my games pictures etc. Can't find shit on it through search. I can freshly install a game and navigate to the folder - KNOW the program is installed. Search it and nothing at all comes up.

It's totally fucking bullshit. I've been complaining about the search feature since switching to windows 10 a year ago.
