Charles,

My preferred Explorer alternative is Xplorer^2 (https://www.zabkat.com/).  The feature set (I paid for the Pro version.) is fantastic including search within search results.  

However, if you really want to look for alternatives to any program, I highly recommend alternativeto.net.  E.G.
