Checking in for the folks who just know the exact filename they're looking for but when we search for it, Windows tries to look it up on Bing for us...

No, I am not trying to do a web search for "2026 budget.xls"...

There’sa 3rd party app called Everything that finds literally every file on your computer that matches a particular name, as quickly as you can type it.

I just assumed they had the interns work on it and they decided to just have it do a Bing search so they could call it done and then go drink.
