Is there a means of achieving switching to a window on title input?

Question

linux

In PHPStorm, Sublime Text and, quite possibly somewhere else, there is a very handy function copied, as I understand it from OS X (which I unfortunately have not encountered yet): you can enter the file name in Spotlight (and even the line number after the colon ) and instantly open it or switch to open.
Now a question. Is there under Windows (I'm still working with this OS on my Lenovo, but I'm almost out of control of it already) or under Linux (I'm sure XMonad should have such a feature) or in OS X this very Spotlight can do this: expand the window by fuzzy enter its title?

Answer 1

Such a program can be written in 10 minutes using WinAPI. You connect user32.dll and google how to get a list of all windows. Then you look among these windows as you please, clearly, fuzzy. Then you just set the maximized flag (or something like that) and that's it.

Answer 2

Windows has a built-in indexing mechanism. It can also be implemented through several external programs (Google definitely had it). The thing is harmful because it staggers disks and especially SSD
