Please try Everything if you have never tried it before. It is BLAZINGLY fast. From memory it runs off the File Allocation Table to achieve its speed.

Looks like it still needs to build index of file names for searching.

If you need to search local ntfs drive, try https://sourceforge.net/projects/swiftsearch/

It does not build any indexes, and always shows up to date results (by scanning MFT)

It doesnt, running it in the background to build up cache is optional.
