Subsequently I’ve learned of a wonderful, stupendous substitute: FARR (Find And Run Robot). It has it all.  Set  up takes zero time.  The defaults are excellent so you can just run it.  If you want to tweak it, there are more options than on the space shuttle.  And it is wicked fast, and does a lot more than finding your applications, but it does that incredibly well. ... Okay, there’s a lot more, but I love this program already.  You do want/need a license key, which is free, but which reminds you that it would be perfectly okay to make a donation. I did, you should.

The praise is well deserved - I heartily endorse it  :Thmbsup:

I use some programs so frequently that I become perplexed and confused if I'm on a machine where they're not installed.  FARR has become one of those programs for me.
