Brave blocks Microsoft Recall by default

At least on OneDrive for Android, a bizarre thing is that search is _not_ equivalent to find . -iname. It is able to find search terms in the _content_ of documents but not their filenames.

Well, you can have the same functionality with find if you want it:

find -type f -exec grep -Hn "_content_" {} \;

  grep -RHn "_content_" .

Though I much prefer this solution, the GP solution is better when there are non-text documents in the directory tree. Find is nice and that you can narrow it down by file name or file extension, without relying on bash globs.

Yep

I just did it more tongue-in-cheek like the unneeded cat commands.

There’s definitely use cases. If you want to search for a keyword on the file name, that one’s great.
