The reason I don't use this kind of thing, is the time spent parsing the results. If I write teams, I want to get a single result that will be the teams app on my computer. I don't want to get a wikipedia entry about teams, a random text document that has "teams" in it, news about microsoft teams, or the price of the latest shitcoin named TEAMS. All that does is add cognitive load, regardless of whether the app is the first result, seeing and parsing the other results, takes focus away from the work at hand and contributes to fatigue. I have a browser with an omnibox for the internet, search on my file explorer, and find and ag[1] in my terminal. Specialized tools for specific jobs. [1]. ag is like grep but faster also it's 30% shorter to type than ack the other faster grep alternative. |
