The functionality is further obscured when (at least on windows) the local files results are intermingled with results from afar, which I guess are Bing.

For me it just doesn't work at all. I don't know why but every windows instance I've used since Win7 has not been able to find files even with the exact filename supplied. I don't disable the indexer. I can see it using CPU and disk resources but it just doesn't find anything relevant when I search. When I instead use Search Everything on Windows it works perfectly.
