Keypirinha (a launcher) works well with Everything. Both are free. The former hasn’t been updated for a few years, but it still works for launching applications, performing quick calculations, currency conversion, etc. [1]: https://keypirinha.com/. - Source: Hacker News / about 2 months ago
Https://keypirinha.com/ there is no update for a long time but this one works perfectly for me. - Source: Hacker News / 7 months ago
Keypirinha for me https://keypirinha.com It's been a while since it was updated last, but since it works, does that matter? - Source: Hacker News / 10 months ago
I'm sure there are good launchers on windows that would work better for you. I think I used Keypirinha when I still had a Windows partition and liked it. Source: about 1 year ago
I wrote an entire plugin for Keypirinha to index Steam games so I can launch counter-strike without touching my mouse. We are not the same. Source: about 1 year ago
I use https://docfetcher.sourceforge.net/en/index.html to index and search large repos of docs. I use Papermerge for my digital file cabinet though. DocFetcher is good for searching an existing repository of files. Source: over 1 year ago
As they state, it is crap-free, free forever, cross-platform, portable, private (local only), and indexes only what you need. You can also set minimum and maximum file sizes to index. See https://docfetcher.sourceforge.net/en/index.html. Source: over 1 year ago
What I'd recommend is setting up a digital and/or physical technical library. Download any useful documents, books, standards etc. and store them in a clear, concise folder structure. Then create an index of the library with a tool like DocFetcher. (Think of it as Google for your technical library) This should make it fast and easy to find the relevant information when you need it. Source: over 1 year ago

I use Outlook for e-mail and calendars. I use Evernote to store my notes. I also have a folder in Dropbox called "docs" where I store TXT (and others like DOCX and PDF etc) files for tasks/projects like the cisco firmware update example. I use DocFetcher (https://docfetcher.sourceforge.net/en/index.html) to perform search on the stored notes in TXT / DOCX / PDF / etc. Source: over 1 year ago
