Windows Search indexes the file *content* for finding matches based on keywords within files. Google Drive's search primarily indexes file *names*, *metadata* (like file type, owner, date modified), and sometimes file content. Google Drive's search often provides more refined results and can leverage Google's powerful search algorithms. Windows Search is system-wide, while Google Drive search is specific to your Google Drive content.
