If you are searching for a file by its name, extension, date, or anything else but not its content, try Everything from <http://www.voidtools.com/>. It is fast. If you are searching for a file by its contents, try Agent Ransack from <https://www.mythicsoft.com/agentransack/>. It is much slower than Everything, but it has to examine the contents of every file within the scope of its search. -- David E.
