At this age I thought nothing would surprise me about Windows, but have to say that I did not know about the features described in void's last post. Specifically, I was under the impression that AppliesTo was an Everything implementation. Everything is great on its own, but being involved with it li...

To exclude the Search Everything context menu item from the Recycle bin: ... Create the following String Value: AppliesTo Set the AppliesTo data to: NOT (System.ParsingPath:=::{645FF040-5081-101B-9F08-00AA002F954E}) As soon as I applied the above, the option disappeared from the context menu, huuuu...

The registry hack by NotNull totally works, thank you!

Going one step further, I would suggest having an option *not* to add this context menu option to the Recycle Bin at all.

Wonder if the Position string accepts a value of Nowhere?

soaper

Yes, that works, thank you.

Learned something new in the process, always good.

Here's my search string: ext:docx|docm The results include file with png extension where the filename part contains the extension being searched: https://i.imgur.com/L82sAA6.png This must be a bug right? :) If so, I am so happy, as I love Everything Search and feel like I am contributing back! Thanks.

soaper

Still here, still a heavy user of ES.

I looked at Total Commander, realized it's a paid app, so I'll pass on that for now.

soaper

void is always helpful here, thanks.

No, thank you for acknowledging that I was helpful in a minor way. So happy to contribute.

soaper

Thank you.

I knew I was going to learn something new, and this time it's the terminology "suggestion bar". Many thanks.

soaper

The following display seemed odd (autocomplete bar shifted way to the left) so I thought I'd just post it here for info.

Otherwise, not really a problem far as I'm concerned.

Version 1.4.1.969 (x64) on Windows 10 2004.

soaper

Great answer, thanks! :) My Everything.db file is current, so I am OK there. I will run through the exercise you suggest. Until now, I was not 'adding' disks, I was plugging them in one at a time, using the one available USB port on the front face of the PC. This time I will make use of the USB port...

soaper

That is the "central" Everything.ini and it points to the one in %APPDATA% : app_data=1 No wonder it looked so plain! I feel pretty embarrassed right now. Here's the real one: ; Please make sure Everything is not running before modifying this file. [Everything] window_x=488 window_y=0 win...

soaper

First off, thank you for responding. I went through your checklist, and could confirm each point as being followed on my end. Then I upgraded to the latest version, to be on the safe side. I enabled Run as admin , again to be on the safe side. My Everthing.db file is about 88 MB in size. After doing...

My goal is to be able to see the results from indexes in offline USB disks, that is, even if the disk is not plugged in, I still want to see if a file is on that disk. This is what I did: I gave each of my external USB disks a unique letter using compmgmt.msc. Then I plugged in each disk to scan the...

soaper

Very nice. Just like in Firefox.

soaper

A HUGE thank you for your prompt/complete response! https://i.postimg.cc/FRhY4Yk6/2019-12-19-06-37-18-complete-maya-programming-Everything.png I used the .ini file approach. If I were to change one thing about your instructions: Open %APPDATA%\Everything\Everything.ini in notepad (locating this file...

soaper

As you can see below, the font setting affects the results but not the size of the font in the search box:

Is it possible to also size the text in the search box and make it larger?

Thanks.

soaper

Thank you!

soaper

There should be a points system in the forum so I can upvote you and thank you.

If there already is, and I don't know about it, well, then I'm embarrassed again, I guess!

soaper

NotNull, thank you so much for this very informative message. I wasn't aware of the status bar indicators. Sure enough, I toggled CTRL+R and the REGEX indicator showed up. One reason I missed it is because I have a 32'' monitor. I normally don't "see" the lower righthand corner of the UI. ...

soaper

OK, the problem went away once I did another CTRL+R. I checked the keyboard shortcuts and it showed that CTRL+R toggles regex. http://www.voidtools.com/support/everything/keyboard_shortcuts/ Now, why toggling regex stops the space (AND) from working, is beyond me! :) Also, if a shortcut changes how ...

I am running 1.4.1.895 on Windows 10 Pro x64. Here's the problem: When I search for the word cryptography, I get more than 2,600 results on my system. Some of those results are pdf files. When I search for cryptography pdf (one space between the two words), nothing shows up. Right before this proble...

soaper

Just confirming that this fix works on Windows 10 version 1903.

And shame on Search Everything for adding a context menu entry to the Recycle Bin without consent from the user!

soaper

Thank you so much. Looking forward to the next release. I saw you mentioned in another post on the forum that the 1.5 release will also include plug-in capability, so that will be exciting to use. Regards.

soaper

Also, for what it is worth: If the user clicks on the Force Rebuild, and the Force Rebuild does nothing, there should be some explanation. It is highly unusual for the Force Rebuild to do nothing, and this unusual lack of activity can be captured easily in the application, if the responsible method ...

soaper

When I ran the 926 release, it kept creating an ini file on my desktop, so reverted back to 895. I will wait until the next proper release. As for the square check for the service: I did not know about the requirement to stop the service at that point. This has been a learning process. Now I know th...

soaper

OK, I went back to the 895 version. After reinstalling, Everything refused to index anything even though I did a Force Rebuild. I shutdown the application. I deleted the Everything folder under %appdata%. I reinstalled. I saw that it recreated the folder under %appdata%. When I started it, it was ab...

I did /debug in the search field, and saw that it went through several iterations of "readd folders/files" as well as "rename Program Files to Program Files". But the CMD window disappears right before the crash. This is what I was able to capture right before it crashed: https:/...

Today I updated my Windows 10 PC to version 1809 (from 1803). After logging in following the update, I realized Everything was not running. I started it manually, and the status line said "Updating database...". But somehow, the application got shut down (I don't know how, I was busy in an...

soaper

Just installed the 1.4.1.877 x64 version on a brand new Windows 10 HP laptop. Tried to change the hotkey from the default CTRL+N to ALT+E. Nothing happened. Shutdown Everything, restarted, no effect. CTRL+N also does not work. FYI.

> Do you know if this lingering file in Everything was indexed as a NTFS volume? > If it was indexed as a folder index it's quite common for Everything to miss the deletion event. The file was one of several within a well-known folder that hasn't changed in years. I have only NTFS volumes. As I ment...

soaper

I did a rebuild and that fixed it. But I would like to see ES get better at robustness. As I said before, functionality degrades over time. I wonder if the system can self-detect that and automatically repair its data structures.

soaper

This is new, just started happening. It used to be that when I hit delete, a confirmation would pop up asking if I really wanted to delete the file. Now there's silence. By the way, problems start happening after sustained use of ES, so I am not totally surprised. Things start to go down, and then y...

soaper

After deleting a file (by hitting the delete button), the search results display does not update. The file continues to be displayed, although in reality it has been sent to the Recycle Bin. Hitting delete again does not do anything (i.e. there is no complaint that the file does not exist). Is this ...

soaper

Following would be a very convenient feature (shown below in red):

Ability to add a folder directly to the folders list under Tools -> Options -> Indexes -> Exclude -> Exclude folders

Thanks.

soaper

ParserMonster wrote:@soaper, what is your complete search string?

Just "ccc".

soaper

@SuperDude: The problem is not whether that option is checked. Rather, if a stale link is displayed for any reason, the behavior is confusing.

soaper

You're right, they were listed under Local NTFS volumes because Automatically include new fixed volumes was checked. I unchecked that option and removed the volumes, and I am no longer getting stale results. Thanks so much.

soaper

When I tried to move files found by Everything to another folder, nothing happened. Turns out that one of the results was a stale entry from an unplugged external disk that is not online.

Suggestion: Move the ones that are online, and don't do anything for the stale results.

soaper

I am running the beta (1.4.0.713b (x86)) and in my case, with Match path: Enabled, I only get the leaf "ccc". I don't get "ccc\ddd", "ccc\ddd\eee" and so on.

HTH.

soaper

I get search results showing up for two previously scanned disks that are no longer online. How can I have Everything "forget" about these disks? I cannot add them to the exclude list because the exclude operation requires the disks being plugged in so that they can be viewed in Windows Ex...

soaper

I realized this all started happening after enabling Bookmarks. I deleted all bookmarks and things are now back to normal. It seems that selecting a bookmark seems to have a persistent and lasting effect. Maybe there should be a visual indicator that a bookmark is in effect. Would save a lot of time.

soaper

I ran through your checklists and everything is as should be. The disk did not any report errors. I noticed something strange: searching for "lucene" (example) returns all folders with string lucene, but no files. I have a tone of PDF files, but when I type pdf or ext:pdf, the list is empt...

During an explicit index build, I captured the debug screen, which had these errors: http://s22.postimg.org/4lub94a6l/2015_12_20_21_31_30_Search_Everything.jpg Are these related to the F: drive not being indexed?

Rube, thanks so much, if nothing else, learned about the bookmarks feature!

soaper

I'm thinking it would be wonderful if I could invoke searches for my C: (primary) drive with ALT+E, and searches for my secondary drive with, say, ALT+F. Is it currently possible to do this using a command line switch which can then be tied to a Windows shortcut? Thanks. PS: I am not going to repeat...

soaper

therube, THANK YOU! That solved it, much appreciated.

soaper

When editing a filename (using F2) that is listed in the results panel, the usual caret stops found in the equivalent feature of Windows does not function. That is, [CTRL+left arrow] and [CTRL+right arrow] do not stop at, for example, periods. It would be better if F2 worked the same as in Windows. ...
