Well I think Linux way is better, the windows search bar has no info, while file has file --help and man file to help you to use it and customize your search, making it easier to find your files with any filter or extra action you want. As other people says here on comments, it works different, you are used to GUI and you need to re-learn the OS basics for Linux. As anyone used only Linux would need to do to use Windows too (and I know people that never used a Windows and says it is too difficult and a bit stupid how it works).
