I waited for Everything 1.5 to crash, but when trying to create the crash dump for Everything64.exe, I received the message "error opening process: The handle is invalid" and it wouldn't allow me to create it.

Thanks. Sent by email.

The crash dump does seem relatively small, but the log file is over 10 mb--too large for email. Is it possible that the crash dump will be sufficient without the log file? If not, do you have have a method for me to send a very large file to you?

Thanks

ould you please enable verbose debug logging and re-enable content indexing: i've created the two crash/debut files. I assume these files contain a list of on my PC, which contains some confidential info. Do you have a more secure method that I can use to send this to you and/or know of a way to ob...

Everything 1.5.0.1332a will no longer treat files as text/plain when the iFilter fails to read content. Please try this version and let us know if the issue persists. I tried this version, and it still crashes. 16,800 files, .97 GB total size. Everything should be using well under 1GB of RAM for co...

Is [Administrator] shown in the window title bar?

It's not being run as administrator.

I checked the settings as you instructed, and they were already set to the selections you recommended.

Thanks again

Thank you for the information Trevor22, I thought there might be a memory leak here for docx files. However, I haven't been able to produce a memory leak my end. How many docx files are you content indexing? (search for: *.docx ) What is the size of all your docx files? (search for: *.docx -total s...

Below is an example of how I handle this issue and to show how quickly the 1 GB limit RAM is reached/exceeded.
 

Thanks for this. Since Everything index seems to use more memory than Windows Search Index, why do you use both indexes instead of only using Windows Search Index?

It still locks up after adding docx. As files are being indexed, the memory usage seems to gradually climb and then eventually the PC runs out of memory, but it doesn't seem to get stuck on any file in particular.

I'm using Adobe Acrobat Pro XI .

Thanks again

Thanks for your detailed reply. For my purpose, I need to search the intact pst/ost files. Lookeen does search pst (as does DocFetcher Pro), but they both have too many limitations. I wonder how difficult it would be for an experienced coder to write a plug-in for Everything that would provide this ...

Please try limiting your content indexing to text/plain files only and see if the issue persists.

I just tried your suggestion. When I limit to text files, it works fine, but when I add in .pdf and .docx, it consumes all available memory on the machine and then locks up.

Thanks. I read this, but not clear on whether this applies to .pst files. I believe it does not apply.

1.5 alpha with content indexing enabled causes my system to freeze. It uses all of the memory on my PC. Even after setting the "Maximum size" Content setting to something like 2 GB, the program still uses up over 10 GB of memory and then crashes my system. I've replicated this problem on s...

Greetings, My index stopped updating with new files added or modified. It does seem to update a few files that are added to single external volume (all volumes are NTFS), but that's all. I rebuilt the index and the recent files still do not show up in searches. reinstalled Everything, and it still d...

In case you might be interested:
In the forum "General" there is already the topic "Outlook".
The topic is even still quite fresh

Thanks. I think my issue is a little bit different than the one addressed in that topic, but I just posted there.

The issue with .pst files and the "si:" function is that, to the best of my understanding, Windows indexes the content of .pst separately from other files. On my PC, my Windows .pst files are indexed, but they can only be accessed in the Outlook's own search tool. Everything's "si:&qu...

The "si:" function is working great for most files, but it does not locate contents of .pst/.ost files. I've read that the Windows stores the content in these files in a separate index. Not sure if that's correct, but is it possible to use a Window search index to search this content? (I o...

This looks really nice. Has it been tested with Win 11?

Thank you.

I followed these instructions--turned off content indexing and used the "sl" directive. This time, it did not use much memory, but it still crashed after about 1 minute. The console crashed too, and I was unable to save a dump.

I'm using version 1.5.0.1269a (x64). I ran process explorer and saw that Everything quickly used up 13 gigs of memory, before it crashed when there was no usable memory available. I tried creating a minidump with process explorer, but I received "access denied error" . I also turned out th...

I recently installed v 1.5 alpha (64 bit) and began indexing content. Each time I launch Everything, it crashes after a few minutes of it. I see a log file being generated. Can I find the reason for the crash in that file?
