For some reason, I always seem to be looking for file and directory names. Since desktop search is a GUI and I'm a command line kind of guy, I got tired of waiting on PowerShell to slowly grind through the file system on its single thread. With lots of cores and an SSD, I shouldn't be waiting on simple file finds!

This little program scratched my itch and maybe someone will find it useful.
