Searches might be slow
Did this every happen to you?
You’re looking for some obscure file and Windows displays a message saying “Searches might be slow in non-indexed locations.” It even helpfully suggests “Click to add to index…”, but you’re damned if you do and damned if you don’t. The indexing will take forever, however the next time you come back it’ll (maybe?) work. My brain hurts already.
