Why is it fast to search using Google than to search a file on my computer using Cortana or File explorer and my hard drive is just about 200GB full yet the Internet is far much bigger?

    They're running on highly optimized RAM farm thingies, results don't have to be exact, they have millions of searches cached to return you similar results

    Because google has not only server farms, but their farms have free-range steroid free servers.

    You can consider building a database for your files in your system running in your localhost. And keep the index updated regularly. You will get a faster file explorer for yourself.
