The filters in the client are not exposed to the Everything SDK. For example, the Audio filter can not be used from the Everything SDK. For example, Search “abc” in the “c:\Windows” directory. Please use the following search in your SDK query: "c:\windows\" abc If you want to search for a...

Does anyone know how to add filter to the Everything SDK?
For example, Search “abc” in the “c:\Windows” directory.

I was a bit confused about the CPU usage rate of Everything.
When I call EverythingSDK to query repeatedly, the Everything Client's CPU usage rate is up to 50%.
I'm not sure what caused it.

Send multiple IPC requests manually.
This can be done with unique HWND or reply WM_COPYDATA ID.

This should be no way to shorten the time to get a lot of data, right?

You can make multiple asynchronous Everything_Query(FALSE) calls. However, they will still only be processed one at a time. I tried,but I got result in my reply window only once. There are millions of results in my search. It may take ten seconds for me to query once. Is there a way to get this dat...

Similarly，Everything_Query(FALSE) is processed?

two es.exe simultaneous queries,Is the second one waiting for the first completion or Everything Client handles synchronously?

Please try the Everything IPC EVERYTHING_IPC_IS_DB_LOADED call. HWND everything_hwnd = FindWindow(EVERYTHING_IPC_WNDCLASS,0); int is_db_loaded = (int)SendMessage(everything_hwnd,EVERYTHING_WM_IPC,EVERYTHING_IPC_IS_DB_LOADED,0); I use follow command line to run Everything Client, Everything.exe -sta...

Code: Select all

HWND everything_hwnd = FindWindow(EVERYTHING_IPC_WNDCLASS,0);
int is_db_loaded = (int)SendMessage(everything_hwnd,EVERYTHING_WM_IPC,EVERYTHING_IPC_IS_DB_LOADED,0); 

Thanks，
Everything_IsDBLoaded() is like this.

Is there a way to judge by sdk?
Everything_IsDbLoaded or other function？

You'll need to run both the Everything Service (not the client service) and the Everything search client in the background. ES cannot communicate with the Everything client service because of Session 0 Isolation. The Everything client service runs in session 0. Thank you for your prompt reply，I und...

normally, ES doesn't work with the client service. The client service is intended for running an Everything ETP/FTP/HTTP server as a service without having a user logged in. ES requires the Everything Search Client to be running in the background. What are you trying to do? If I don't start Everyth...

I installed client service Do you mean the Everything Service or the Everything Client Service? If the latter, did you follow these instructions ? Yes,Everything Client Service. I installed Everything Client Service,and excuted es.exe.I got error information： "Error 8: Everything IPC window no...

Normally, an Everything query will return all results. This will take a few seconds over IPC. Please try limiting the number of results with Everything_SetMax . Use Everything_SetOffset to set your window scroll offset. For the best performance, set the maximum results to the number of visible item...

I type “a” in the input box,the list of search result was show immediately,about 3 million results。I search by using the sdk for a few seconds, how to increase the search speed?

everything_hwnd = FindWindow("EVERYTHING_TASKBAR_NOTIFICATION_(instance name)",0);

Correct, does this work for you?

Yes，the problem was solved.

The SDK does not support named instances, yet. For now, you will need to re-build the SDK with your custom instance name. You'll need to change the following line (there are 5 of them - change all of them): everything_hwnd = FindWindow(EVERYTHING_IPC_WNDCLASS,0); to: everything_hwnd = FindWindow(&q...

My instance name is "abc",I try to change macro "EVERYTHING_IPC_WNDCLASS" like #define EVERYTHING_IPC_WNDCLASSW L"EVERYTHING_(abc)"//L"EVERYTHING_TASKBAR_NOTIFICATION" #define EVERYTHING_IPC_WNDCLASSA EVERYTHING_(abc)"//"EVERYTHING_TASKBAR_NOTIFICATI...

I startup a named instance,and how to use sdk to search by specified instance？
