How does Google search the web in less than a second and return many results, but Windows File Explorer takes many seconds to search a relatively tiny amount of information?

Because google has 100000000000x the computing power your desktop or laptop has. It has entire servers towers (a server is basically a computer on steroids) dedicated to to indexing the web and creating keywords and related data. It does this process constantly every second of every minute of every day. Thousands and thousands of servers doing nothing but indexing and creating keywords. Your computer on the other hand has thousands of other things it also has to do just to be on. If you had a “regular” computer, almost half of all your processing power goes to simply running windows. Servers don’t use windows because they usually have one job, index. They have other servers to handle the other jobs, so imagine have a laptop for every process your computer engages in just to be a functional computer. One slow computer for every single thing. Security, file management, running programs…. Your house would be filled with computers doing one job.
