Introduction

Axcessor is an elaborated search engine for Windows which is made for users to search for installed applications and do web searches directly from the application instead of searching manually on their systems. With a simple UI and quick hotkey activation of the application, it is a faster and a better solution to application searches.

Reason behind Axcessor

Got inspiration from Spotlight search on macOS and thought of making it for windows. And so I came up with Axcessor.
