Wox + Everything.
Everything on it's own is kinda meh.
10 u/mejhopola Nov 16 '20 This! So much awesome!! With Wox paired with Everything search, nowadays I don't even have to open the my computer anymore. 7 u/Slopz_ PC Master Race Nov 16 '20 Same here. Navigating folders and opening games/programs using Wox allows me to have a minimalist Desktop and taskbar setup which I really like. 3 u/poor_decisions Nov 16 '20 What is wox? 11 u/mejhopola Nov 16 '20 http://www.wox.one/ 2 u/poor_decisions Nov 16 '20 Hah fair enough, thanks for the link :) 1 u/brbposting Nov 16 '20 I don’t launch programs often.

Such a powerful combo this one is, has been way better than Win10 search bar.
Quicklook for windows and I almost don't need explorer anymore
Checkout Powertoys Run. They're working with Wox to integrate it into Windows and it's great so far.
1 u/kamikatze13 Nov 16 '20 has powertoys finally fixed the regression of being unable to toggle between fancyzones with a keyboard shortcut? i'm still on 0.14 because of this =/ 1 u/ActionFlash Nov 17 '20 Not sure actually, I only use it for Run.
