I'm currently using Launchy, because it has an advanced indexing system. I can't switch to Hain yet because it lacks this feature.

In Launchy, every entry has its own settings, like:

Example: Hubic folder

Indexes text files: txt, md, yml, docx etc. Search 10 levels, E:\Hubic\Folder 1\Folder 2\Folder 3\Folder 4\... and so on.

Example: Tools folder

Indexes bat, cmd files Search root and children directories only E:\Tools\ and E:\Tools\Child 1

This is something that will probably be deferred, the current preferences system isn't sophisticated enough to handle such a set of input parameters.

May also be replaced with something like the ticket regarding integration with "Everything" which is an indexing system and would undoubtedly index and query much faster than hain could do from Javascript.
