   MasterSeeker > Voidtools' Everything!

   I used to love exploring alternative Windows Shells and Explorer alternatives. As a heavy power user and PC enthusiast, I needed more than what Windows Explorer and Windows Search had to offer. I used to parade voidtool's Everything until I gradually increased my storage by magnitudes of TBs. Voidtool's Everything is amazing, don't get me wrong-- but it struggled to index my years of project data and archives once I passed around 5TB... It even corrupted its own database file a handful of times... I really was pushing Everything to its limits with my excess storage sizes.

   That's when I found MasterSeeker. I decided to leave Voidtools' Everything behind for one goal-- a new file search and file manager that didn't crash and freeze up while scanning for constant file changes and indexing them. I required a replacement for Windows Search that didn't struggle with the uncountable files that I create on a day-to-day basis. I was accepting of a program that ran in the background and indexed as a Windows Service, even though it wasn't elegant and I preferred portable software.

   MasterSeeker is absolutely crushing the competition for my multiple computers. The software is portable (which means it runs on any Windows PC from a USB thumbstick). I've even deployed/tested it via Google Drive/Cloud Drives. It loads the initial index faster and more consistently than the competition. It has never corrupted itself even once (unlike the competition). It's been years since I first found Everything and after switching to MasterSeeker (2 years and counting) I haven't looked back since.

   🏁 Competitors: Everything by Voidtools, Windows Search, CubicExplorer, Listary, grepWin, AstroGrep, SearchMyFiles, Exselo Desktop, Duplicate & Same Files Searcher, UltraSearch, FileSearchEX

• Typing without cursor feedback is better... like in 10 fast fingers.

  10 fast fingers still colors the word red if you made any mistake in that word but it wont show you what or where the mistakes are, or at least not easily without losing precious seconds... You have to look down to another box and find the mistake... So it punishes you for not knowing where you made the mistake... It forces you to be mentally aware of each letter you are typing... Making you more accurate in a... Source: 8 months ago

• Does anyone have any resources for how to be a better typer?

  What I did was look up the touch typing hand layout (googling it is pretty easy), then just force myself to use it. I started off going from 37wpm to 7wpm, but through a lot of use (especially doing daily type tests on websites like https://play.typeracer.com/ or https://10fastfingers.com/ ) I'm now at ~65wpm without looking after a couple months.
