You can't search for "Star Trek: Prodigy". You must remove the colon for the search to work.

A suggestion is that everything will ignore the colon when it doesn't recognize a command before the colon so files like "Star.Trek.Prodigy.S01E03" will show up in the results as expected.

Version 1.4.1.1009 (x64)

These do do not work:
ext:txt content:mjölk
ext:txt content:smör
ext:txt content:jord

Can you please implement heuristic matching so files like these will be grouped together and highlighted? Could use a command of "sameof:" Superman.and.Lois.S01E01.Pilot.720p.10bit.WEBRip.2CH.x265.HEVC-PSA.mkv Superman.and.Lois.S01E02.Heritage.720p.10bit.WEBRip.2CH.x265.HEVC-PSA.mkv Superm...

The code isn't that complex. You can easily reverse engineer the code. So what's the problem?! I've seen no reason to stop using this program and use my own. The software I wrote is to index external hard drives and that's it. It was based on reverse engineering Everything software. My software keep...

What issue did you have with Levenshtein distance? Ive played around with that one and it works. Just very slow (at least my implementation) unless you do fancy optimizations. Everyone have more than one core now. Parallelization search could speed it up. You could try Damerau–Levenshtein distance. ...

I'm interested in this feature. I rarely shutdown my computer so if the computer unexpectedly lose power or similar then I'll end up with a very old database so I'm unable to see what files were for example on my ram drive or if Iost some recent files on my normal harddrives. Having a script that re...

For example: c:\ ext:dmp \\& c:\ firefox ext:exe Everything will perform all searches split up with \\& and display the combined results. Off topic side note: The support page is useless for figuring out what macros are used for! :shock: :( Don't feel supported. Examples are always useful.

There was some talk a few years ago about how Everything works in an irc channel. Mind you, I barely/vaguely remember the discussion. One person said Everything stores all the file/folder names in an array. Have some form of tree structure, maybe some version of B-Tree. The tree among other things c...

Will you be open sourcing this? At Github for example?

Why would you need to write your own NTFS driver? Yes, it may be more compatible but a real pita to write and debug. There are existing apis for getting filesize, very slow. Can be done in a background thread lazily and lazily update the virtual listview with the new information. Only expensive (ex...

FYI: This move makes it seem that you are not going to release the whole source code.

Also why are you using your own string length function rather than the standard one?

Been using size and date functions often recently and noticed this too. Based on the hard drive activity, 'Everything' doesn't seem to load the size and date information from the MFT table which is weird since that would be the obvious choice. Instead it accesses each file separably to ask for that ...

There have been a few releases now and is now out of beta, "Everything-1.3.4.686.x64"

There was talk about opening up the source code after "the next release" a few releases back.

So have you changed your mind?

Have anyone talked with the developer of Everything recently?

I have tried to contact him because I want to work on the project.
I did make a clone of Everything but its memory usage was too high in my opinion compared to Everything.

There are many ways to interpret what you said.
What was so special about this program ?

From what you describe this program can do the same (search in files)
Notepad++ can search within text files. The feature is called "Find in Files".

It's just a prototype. I made it to learn how the usn journal works while i wait on a response from 'void' (To privately help him, to speed things up). I'm currently working on the user-interface. I really do despise UI programming. I do not know when i'll have a usable *very* alpha version ready. I...

Can you describe or provide code snippets of how you made the searching of the usn journal so fast ? Never-mind, found the answer, quite simple. :oops: How do you structure up the database for fast path generation and retrieval ? Do you pre-compute the paths in advance and store the in memory or is...

I still have much to implement before the next release. I was afraid of that. I have lost patience of waiting (2 years and counting). Since you haven't open sourced the project by now i'm guessing the probability of you ever doing it is very low. So i have decided to implement my own light version ...

What stage are you currently in ?

Is an update to 'everything' coming soon ? (soon as in within a month)

Have you done any more thinking on making this an open source project ?
I can help you set it up.

Is my offer to help not even worthy a response ?

Open letter to void / David / David Carpenter, the "Everything" developer. Hello there. If you do not have time or energy to develop "Everything" then i will help you. There have been very long time since your last update to "Everything" tool. I'm offering you my help. ...
