There's also Agent Ransack for searching file content.

I don't use Windows much nowadays, but ripgrep and fzf are sure handy on linux and mac.

Thank you, I just installed Agent Ransack and am checking it out. VoidTools Everything just searches filenames, not content, so this could be very useful.

I found it amusing that they also offer what is apparently the same product with completely different branding "for corporate environments" called FileLocator Lite/Pro.

I use ripgrep and fd on Windows as well. Nothing stopping you from doing so.
