Spotlight is awesome and I love it (Mac user here).
When I had Windows, I did try Everything (which is basically Spotlight for Windows) and I didn’t get it. Now I do. I regret not using that program more. Way back in the day, in Windows 95, I used to have “short codes” set up for nearly every application on my computer, and I think it was .bat shortcuts that launched them. So Win+R, the short code, the app launches. I don’t think autocomplete was a thing then (otherwise it would have been unnecessary). I had the short codes taped to the side of the tower, printed, but with a bunch of hand-written ones added after. So I’ve really been doing this for about 30 years off and on.

I love Everything, I have it set to trigger with Ctrl+Alt+Space
