#12Just enable the next-gen search bar for Windows 10 - I've used both and the native tool is far better on the latest versions of Windows 10 (at least in my testing).

Somewhat. The other day I typed 'draw', wanting LibreOffice Draw (which is installed), but the top result was (Microsoft) Paint.

#14Wox Launcher[1] is another great alternative. It appears to be more active than Jarvis.

Thats true. But it learns pretty quick. It will become the top result if you choose the rigth (LibreOffice Draw) once or twice.

In my experience it learns - after you pick libre a couple times it will move to the top.

I use Launchy in "Portable" mode (because my work PC is locked down and I may not install Launchy on it). After some 1) significant amount of config-tweaking, 2) learning curve involving moodiness on Launchy's part, and 3) learning about certain keyboard-shortcuts, it works like a charm. The fact that it's Portable is a HUGE plus to me.
I'm going to give Jarvis and Wox Launcher test-drives, if they're available in Portable mode.

#18Alfred is for Mac, Jarvis is for Windows. What similar programs are there for the Linuxfolk?

#19I much prefer KeyPirinha.

Not hard-coded for a particular resolution but hard-coded for a particular DPI.
