An engineer was working on a windows server. Needed to partition something so typed 'part' in the windows search thingy (windows 10).

Few results found:
Participation laws
Part time working
Partial (something)

Engineer: Jesus fucking Christ I just want the FUCKING partitioner, windows what the actual fuck.

    linux is so simple in this regard.
    lsblk
    fdisk /dev/sdx
    profit!

    I hate having to navigate through windows.

    You typed in a common word and expected what you wanted magically? Okay, definitely a windows problem.

    I have to say if you don't know how to partition in windows you should not operate a windows server. I mean windows is crap and all but you can't expect it to work if you don't know to use it.

    Not going to lie I do this all the time and still blame Windows because I’m too lazy to type the full word.

    I am using some software that I downloaded off a random site... I think it is called "disk partition mini wizard" it is the best windows partition software I have ever used.. it let's me format a disk to file systems that windows doesn't even recognize.

    Partitioning/formatting/etc on Windows sucks. I know how to do it, I know how the programs/commands are named - but most of the time I boot up a linux live system for that.

    @dontbeevil I needed 2 ext4 partitions and 1 exfat partition on an SD card..

    Windows can't do any of that.

    @D--M yeah it is. I want to see programs listed first, not Bing search results
    Also I’d love if I could search for the english name, even when on another language. Like you can on mac

    @dontbeevil With the *exact* name? Because the whole point of the search is, that you can use key words/parts of the name.

    @dontbeevil Must have been another version then, the Interface was very windows 10ish :)

    @dontbeevil Let me retract the windows 10 part as I'm not sure about that anymore.

    Rephrasing to: windows.

    For simply opening applications installed on my machine the windows search is actually great.
    But for everything else - even music files in my music library - it's the worst shit that exists. Can't find a single file on my computer and then on the other hand if I type some random other stuff I'm trying to find, it shows me a few rainbow table .txts I stored somewhere I don't even remember deep inside the file tree...
