Still seeing more issues with the indexer on than when it's off. With the indexer on, searching for a file in a directory structure with only a couple hundred files easily takes minutes for some reason. No idea how that thing is supposed to be helping, really. My custom search tool that just iteratively scans folders is practically instant.

is that because it's searching inside the files for keywords, while your tool only looks at filenames?

Possible. Although having Notepad++ do a content search is still faster. The Windows search usually just hangs with zero results for quite a while. Can find it faster by browsing manually.
