Default is "Everything" doing some mining?

I'm surprised it needs to index if it doesn't do
content search. Can it actually be faster to search
its own list than to search the file system?

I think maybe it _does_ search the file system; certainly, when you are
typing in the part filename you are looking for, it seems to amend the
list it's presenting to you with each character you type, even at normal
typing speed.

Go on, give it a try - you can always uninstall it. (And I agree,
Everything is a confusing name!)
