Thank you very much!
I think it would be easier to use a checkbox for ever drive in order to activate or disactivate a drive (like total commander drive button bar).
However your solution is very nice.
Thank you very much for your time dedicated to my question.

rando

Thank you for your comment. I checked it in cmd.exe Everything is fine. I think it has to do with my shell settings in VIM. These are my settings in Vim: set shell=cmd.exe set shellcmdflag=/c set shellxquote="" set shellquote= I don't know what could be wrong. I'm not an expert in shell pr...

All filenames imported in my text editor don't have accents (éèàìù etc). I tried to resolve it adding ascii/noascii/utf8: !es *.txt -name ascii: !es *.txt -name noascii: !es *.txt -name utf8: Still no accents. My filenames are encoded latin1. Did you have the same problem? If not, can you please tel...

rando

Great! Thank you.
I forgot to put `es` in the path.

The everything file listing is much much better than `ls`.

rando

I do have a few network folders monitored by Everything. However I don't want to use them always (and don't want to include them in the ouput) If I remove a folder, the folder must be added again when I need it. (That's what I do now). Is there no way to disable one or more folders temporary? If not...

rando

I'm using the Vim text editor.

In Vim I can use "ls" or "find" to list the file names output in my text editor.

p.e.
:r !ls d:\*.jpg will list the names of all .jpg files in my text editor.

Is it possible to do this also with everything/ everything command line?

rando

Another thread mentioned rebooting your computer after Everything installation. Give that a try & let us know. How can i assign a Hotkey to "force rebuild database"? The problem was that I had the portable version. I couldn't let it work with this version. With the folder option it wo...

rando

Same here. I installed everything on a win64 system no NTFS volumes are detected. Now I'm using the folder changes index. That works fine as well. The only problem is the updates. Updating every few minutes is not a great solution. I just want to do an update when I open everything, a few times a da...

Yes true, bit it doesn't take a lot of memory.

Another great software is Searchopia:
http://www.sunrizen.com/

Its now free.

rando

Yes I know the software.
However it is not updated since a lot of time.
It seems that the project is dead.

Another great software (even better as Astrgrep): DocFetcher.
http://docfetcher.sourceforge.net/en/index.html

rando

I use index your files to search within documents.

Everything has the potential to be the best of all.
It is i.m.o. already the best file searcher.

Any news David?

Great David

I use the built-in search feature in Total Commander. It is pretty configurable and not bad for speed. a text search in TC? How do you do this? You mean the Find Text in Find in files? If you find text in TC you have to open the file (there is no text viewer in Find Files) and when the file is open...

rando

Everything is by far the best file search software.
I always hope that there will be also one day a textsearch engine inside.

I often haven to search within files for text.
Does anyone know a very good and fast text search software?

rando

David wrote:yes, void will be my main forum user name from now on..

Welcome to the forum void

Just to tell you that Everything is becoming better and better.

rando

"everything" has a very nice interface also

rando

but a little search box integrated in the taskbar is even quicker (as a feature, optional i.m.o.)

David wrote:
What does not work any more (except windows search)
Only Windows search as far as I know..

Thank you David.

rando

if we don't use windows search, we can disable Content indexing Service isn't it? Yes, the NTFS USN Change Journal and Windows Content Indexing are two completely different things. You can disable the Windows Indexing Service and "Everytihng" will still function. What does not work any mo...

Does the NTFS driver take part of Windows Content Indexing?

If I disable Content indexing Service to index a disk (in windows - my computer) will Everything still work?

rando

I would like as well to have the possibility to search within files.

Still have to use two programs.
Everything + agent ransack

rando

Just one more idea:

Add f (from)
Add t (to)

fc3d tc1d (changed files from 3 days ago to 1 day ago)
etc.

This gives us the possibility to filter immediately in one search

Maybe you can even leave out the "c°

rando

I can't make it work.

I added a new filter FILES and put it below Video
I tried to add a shortcut to Search.Filter01/09/16 but all redirected to Audio

Sorry, found it.
Search.Filter10

rando

great to hear :-) Thank you David. Btw.. What means the "c"? :oops: oeps "changed". I've seen it in the first message. If I could decide I would take the "r" Recent. or maybe even better "l" last. Last 15 minutes Last hour Last week That is easier to remember.

rando

I've found two times the same filter shortcut:
Recent --> ctrl-8
Video --> ctrl-8

I added a new filter: ONLY Files (!Folder:)
but it seems not to be possible to add a shortcut for new filters isn't it?

rando

This release works great. Happy to see the new features as well. cd: cw: Yesterday I was searching to find the modified files in the last hour. Is it not possible to add: To search for recently changed files in the last hour: ch: and even better: To search for recently changed files in the last xx m...

wow. fantastic.
Great release.
Thank you

rando

yes same here. I had to reinsert all the settings in options. The .ini file was still there and also the TC commands but doesn't work. It seems that Everything doesn't recognize the .ini file. The file "everything.db" is again in the root. Update: I closed Everything opened .ini file, open...

Thank you for answering.

Hello David, Just noted again how much I use everything. It is really a fantastic tool. It changed my whole way of working on the PC. I create file-names with keywords and search all files in everything. The Total Commander integration is beautiful. Actually I'm using Version 1.2.1.432. I noted that...

rando

thank you

rando

wow... great!
Tnx David.

I've downloaded the latest beta. I noted that the file "everything.db" is in the root of C drive. What is your database location set to (See Tools->Options->Volumes->Database location)? If it is empty, are there any errors reported in the Errorlog.txt file in your "Everything" i...

Maybe having a right-click "minimize to tray" option would be better. If you allowed multiple windows, you idea wouldn't work very well. Oh yes, that's true. I use the "single window" version :-) would be nice to have icon click to show/hide window for the single window version ...

rando

I often click on the tray icon in order to hide "everything" and bring it back to system tray.
Unfortunately it doesn't work.

Would it be an idea having this feature:
- click on system tray icon: show "everything"
- click again on system tray icon: hide "everything"

rando

thank you David.

Is it not a good idea to add the last (5, 10, 20...- feature in options?) searches in everything using the down arrow?
Another idea is to give users a possibility to bookmark a search.

rando

I still can't find out how to check previouses searches I made.
Clicking on the down arrow on the right side of the search input box does not work:
there is only 1 search inside. All other searches I did aren't there.

rando

Would it be also possible to open TC when double click on path in path column?
(allow double click in path column enabled)

rando

ok

Thank you for your great software

rando

Yesterday I had to insert many times the same search parameters in Everything.
I wished there was a recent search - dropdown list.
So I was thinking to write a message in the forum till I saw the message of Filippo.

I agree with his request.

rando

David, you've once told me that a preview pane is on your wish list.
I really can't wait to see this within Everything.

Do you have any idea when the preview pane will be integrated in Everything?

rando

I use this command line in TC: -search "%P !%P\*\*" When I click on the "D:\" directory in TC this is what opens in Everything: D:\ !D:\\*\* However the search is within the subfolders (and subfolder names as well). ah..... found it :D I have to cancel the "\" after the...

rando

Everytime I click on a file in Everything, Everything lose the focus.
This is a bit disturbing if I want to open more files at once.
Would it be possible to open files in the background?
