WorkDrive Search vs Google Drive Search

WorkDrive Search vs Google Drive Search

I'm looking to potentially move much data into WorkDrive but I have big concern.  Microsoft's desktop search has scarred me for life.  You would think Microsoft could search a hard-drive as fast as Google, but that is not the case.  So I have learned that search is vitally important to usability.

Can anyone who is using WorkDrive with lots of data speak to the search experience using Google Drive or Gmail search as a benchmark?   Key criteria are:

1) Speed of results - does it return results quickly even with large data-sets?

2) Reliability - does it actually find all of the documents with the keywords?  Or does it selectively find the keyword in some documents while ignoring others?  Will the initial keyword search seek keywords beyond folder names and file-names?

3) Ease of advanced search - can you use quotation marks for phrases, other shortcuts such as + or - or other booleans?

4) Results presentation - are results presented in a usable format to facilitate visual selection of best choices such as by using snippets?

5) Document universe - which document types get deep search? microsoft office, adobe pdfs, text files, xml, .... ?

Any other practical real world experience would be helpful.

Thanks for any and all from the community who contribute!

New Edit:  By the way, functionally some of my questions are answered in this thread
but what I want to know is how the actual behavior functions in the wild versus what you know to be true of using Google search.
