Hi,
I use Vim as my text editor. I(personally) found the "find" functionality in vim lags occasionally when the path has a large number of directories in it. To work around this problem, I have written a VIM plugin that uses "Everything" to search for files. The plugin can be downloaded from
http://www.vim.org/scripts/script.php?script_id=3635
The source code is available from
https://github.com/vmandela/WinFastFind
Hope this helps some one. The usual disclaimers apply.
regards,
Venkat
PS: Needless to say I am a fan on Everything.
