Date, e. g. Paris_080517 for May 17th 2008 in Travels. Any general search tool like Locate32 can then instantly find all the Paris. Source: over 1 year ago

On my computer I've used Locate32 for years now. Not the youngest but works perfectly. Once the files are indexed it can find them even on disconnected drives and has lots of filtering options (which I generally don't even need). Source: over 1 year ago

People here think highly of Everything, and I presume it can do that, but I use Locate32 which satisfies all my needs. Source: almost 2 years ago

I that doesn't work, use something like Everything or Locate to index your files and search for the tar.gz extension. Source: about 2 years ago

Locate32 : The windows version of updatedb and locate commands from linux. I've never needed the contents indexed, just the name. Source: about 2 years ago

Good find, thanks! I'll check if I prefer it to moar. As for bat, according to https://github.com/sharkdp/bat#using-bat-on-windows, the Chocolatey package simply installs `less` alongside `bat`. Seems like a good idea, but I haven't tried it. - Source: Hacker News / 5 months ago

I referenced bat because I've found that suggesting cygwin sometimes provokes a negative reaction. The GP also mentioned needing to install GNU tooling as if it were a negative. Bat is fancy pager written in Rust. It's on GitHub: https://github.com/sharkdp/bat. - Source: Hacker News / 5 months ago

For this reason I have a zsh function in my .zshrc with bat (which pages by default, if it's longer than your console height): https://github.com/sharkdp/bat#highlighting---help-messages

  # in your .bashrc/.zshrc/*rc.
