I will patiently wait...



Thank you for the amazing tool!

Is it possible to get a file count of a folder using everything search? Sort of like how you can get its size? I have found a work around using powershell and the commandline version of Everything but its painfully slow. *EDIT* It seems the data is readily available using "childfilecount: or ch...

We actually already do this, and ship the event logs off to a event log forwarder server. But the amount of data i collect is an annoying amount. I was hoping for a clean little way via command line I have actually achieved this very easy in small scale(100,000+ files), but the problem arises when m...

Thank you.
You gave me a lot to think about and look into.

The drive that i am monitoring is a file server so there is not near the traffic that we see on a windows c: drive

I am trying to come up with a way to track deleted items. I have been looking around and coming up empty handed. Is there a way to do this inside of everything search or am i going to have to use the command line to dump to file and compare? This is something i would like to track over time. Thank y...

So i know that EverythingSearch can monitor real time changes to a file system. Does "Everything" monitor file system changes? Yes, "Everything" does monitor file system changes. Your search windows will reflect changes made to the file system. I would love to be able to log this...

man that \\?\ trick is sweet! makes me not really care.

Will rewrite my powershell script that is auditing permissions and all will be good.

Thanks again

good call on the PS version.
I was using 3... appears to work when tested on 5.

Thanks!

BTW: 255 isn't really too long. Ifyou address the fil in a Win32 way instead of the DOS-way: \\?\C:\enormous\long\path\including\filename.txt can be addresseed this way. Trying to use this example with anything Powershell. While it doesn't error. It doesn't seem to work. Having a hard time finding ...

Awesome!

Thanks

Awesome.... i already used powershell and everything command line for another project. Good thinking... will test early next week.
Will try my best to report back but i forget these things sometimes.

I see there is a way to search based on name length(len:<length>), is there a way to do this on full path instead of just file name?
I am basically wanting a tool to find where the paths are to long for ntfs.

I got it working. Thanks
I think maybe it was just to old of a version?

It seems like it works on my copy of ES version 1.4.1.877 (x86)
but not on my copy that is version 1.4.0.713b (x64) so i will update and see if that solves my problem.

After some more digging i found this.
If you wish to specify dates with times, please use ISO 8601 dates:
But i still cant seem to get it to work correctly.

I have looked around and cant seem to find an answer.
This works great DM:1/1/1080
but i cant make this work DM: 1/1/1980 6:00 PM

Does anyone have any tips for this?

its a real bummer that there is not a command line option to export a bookmark or something. I mean from the gui its a simple click. Why not make it a command line option so we can work with these files via automation.

I have been looking around for an hour or so and coming up empty.
Reading this thread viewtopic.php?f=5&t=2404 makes it sound possible.
Can anyone point me in the right direction?

Still looking for a way to achieve this via command line...
once again rc:today works great but i cant filter on by things like size.

I have a file server with about 10 million files and about 15 TB of data. When looking at the USN Journal options i noticed the Max size is set to 0KB. With a delta of 1024000. I am wondering what this means. On a few other boxes i have, its is 32768. Is this safe to change? why is it 0? It appears ...

Correction....

es.exe -s rc:today appears to be working fine however i want to add things like es.exe -s "rc:today file: size:>1000kb !.pst"

Is it possible to use the rc:today command via commandline with es.exe?

just one more follow up... the es.exe is not filtering the same way. Looks like i have to go through the gui. Man an command line export would be nice

my real only issue with this method is i am not getting the size. Is there a way to include the size in this output?

I think that will work just fine. thank you.

Now i just need a good command line way to get the csv
see other post


Thank you.

I am trying to tackle a problem on a file server that has 10 million + files. I am trying to efficiently see the file modified yesterday however it seems this filter has to talk to each file so this is no more efficient then any other file scanner. Ideas on how to accomplish more efficiently what i ...

So i am trying to catch up to speed here. I see you have a command line version "es.exe" but it looks like you have built command line options into the standard application. I saw someone else wanting to do this and it would be super helpful to do command line export to csv. Is this possib...
