I use "salonb" but it's the same strategic approach as Herbert's:
 C:\> dir /s/a/l/on/b c:\*.* > salonb_20250119.txt

What would be nice is a script that runs once a day to archive the list.
Maybe something like (untested) this?

 @echo off
 REM salonb lists every file found on your drive
 setlocal

 :: Get current date
 for /f "tokens=2-4 delims=/ " %%a in ('date /t') do (
   set year=%%c
   set month=%%b
   set day=%%a
 )

 :: Format date for filename (YYYYMMDD)
 set date_formatted=%year%%month%%day%

 :: Run salonb
 dir /s/a/l/on/b c:\*.* > salonb_%date_formatted%.log
 endlocal

Then, in gvim, you can search salonb_{date}.log using regular expressions.
Maybe folks can improve it to ask what you want it to list & search for?
