A lot of the time I need to go digging around in some of my old files from backups to find something (that I remember the file name of, but not the path), so it helps there.
It also helps when I need to find the path of something quickly, as I can just find it by name and use the "Copy as Path" context menu option directly from the results window.
... definitely helps as well when I can't seem to keep my files organised for too long and they get super cluttered quickly, skill issue on my part there.
Yeah I'm not trying to imply that I'm some kind of file organisation wizard.
I use zettlr for my personal notes and that has search so I guess that's enough to get me by.
