Windows Search: Below we will see a command that can search for files for you much faster than Windows Explorer.
Searching for a file through Windows Explorer can take forever. But there is a much faster way if you are willing to use the command line of operating system .
Use the following command to search any disk and you will usually be finished within a few seconds.
To open a command line box in Windows, press the Win+R keys together. In the box that opens, type cmd and press Enter.
Alternatively, in the Windows search box, type cmd and open the command line window from there.
Let's see the command:
dir "\iguru*" /s
If the command seems Chinese to you, we'll try to explain it below:
dir is a command used to display files in the current directory, but it can display files anywhere on the system.
The forward slash requires searching from the root of the current drive.
The /s command tells dir to search all subdirectories.
Finally, the asterisk (*) is used by the command line as a wildcard. So a command of the type *.txt will show you all files that end with “.txt”, while iguru* will show you all file names that start with the word “iguru”

That was it. Create your own command and you will be surprised at the speed of response of your system search.
It should be mentioned that the command will not work in PowerShell.
