You can replace it with: "long period" versus "short period".

We need more time and scenarios to examine how the users use these two features.
When the time comes, do a survey...

Stamimail

I don't think so. (These are two different features. Leave it as it is now.) Enable\disable Omit Results is something that user does monthly. Temporarily omit is something that user does daily. The scenario you are talking about is very far, but if we try to address it: The user searching for a fold...

IMHO, we still need to think about a better terminology for OMIT that describe better the period of omission. (how long) I am happy with omit. I'm open to suggestions. I've been trying to think of ideas, and don't think I've found anything good enough. The best I can think of so far: Currently: Exc...

What do you find ugly about the parent folders submenu? 1. I think all parents should be listed in one place (building together like a Path/Breadcrumb). Currently, the first parent is shown alone separated from the rest. 2. The folders entries block should be at top or bottom, not at the middle of ...

Parent Folders still looks ugly, if you ask me. (in my humble opinion)

Stamimail

Also, try to add support for at least a one Undo/Redo, for a case the user omit temporarily by mistake the wrong item/s.

Stamimail

Tested. I think the double-click for both OMIT and TEMP OMIT (in status bar) should show something like OMIT pane (or the Organize Result Omissions window), rather than exit OMIT. The user will be able to Remove All from this pane. Another way to Remove All will be Middle Click in status bar indicat...

There's no option to omit a folder without descendants.

This means that the original idea has not yet been implemented.
I was trying to treat each item as individual (standalone item), like you can do with File List Editor.
This functionality has its advantages.

Stamimail

Opening a file list in Everything is different to opening a file list in the File List Editor. Opening in Everything: (File -> Open File List) The file list cannot be changed. The list is consider static and offline. The file list is sorted by your active column. Opening in the File List Editor (To...

question:
If someone wants to assign a shortkey to "Temporarily Omit",
How will it distinguish between omitting a folder (with its descendants) and omitting a folder item (without its descendants) ?

Pressing Google button will have the same action like this:

Used for advanced search such as "exact phrase" etc.

Maybe part of the code of "Everything File List Editor" can be used here for this pane. Still, I didn't find a way how to move one folder without its descendants. When dragging a folder, the default is to add its descendants. What about Ctrl+dragging to move folder item/s without descendan...

1. Can use another name. (like exclude) It's different feature from Result Omissions. 2. Should be available regardless "Enable Result Omissions" enabled or not. 3.When "Temporarily Omit" is pressed, a pane (like preview pane) is opened. Let's call it Exclude pane. Each item is o...

Stamimail

Your recommendation is probably the right answer for today.
So the question now is for the future:
If people decide it's a good idea, is it technically possible to implement this idea (that phone storage will replace computer storage)?
Is this a hardware issue?
Is this a software issue?
both?

Currently the operators < > are used for Grouping. I assume that if the Grouping is empty <>, then it's meaningless. And then I ask myself, why the empty <> is not used for the NOT operator (instead of the ! exclamation mark) The advantage: ! is a valid character in filenames, which <> is not. !Abc ...

"Windows" (double quotes)
""Program Files"" (double double quotes)

If you plan using variables, you will consider double double quotes also for filenames that don't have a space.

Take it easy. I'm just saying what I think is the right thing to do, based on what I see at that moment. This could be an initial view, and I could very well be wrong. No need to be angry about it.

How can I view and edit all these macros afterwards?

Users will not want ext:c to match cpp files. Why do you think so. ext: can/should behave like the other "columnName:" search functions. This reminds me that there is a column called "Extension", so that "extension:" should behave like a "columnName:" search ...

Consider to replace: ext: for partial searches and extension: for "matches the whole extension". I too expected (intuitively) that ext: will make partial searches of extensions, and to use ext:"xls" for escaping xlsx extension. Please separate multiple extensions with a semicolon...

I hardly agree with "all of the checkmarks under the Search menu are inclusive", you want me to also agree that the search functions will also be like that. I can't agree with this, losing both intuitiveness and consistency. For example: ext:mp3 path:download artist: album: I expect to use...

Great. After all these clarifications, I think there is one thing left to fix: I was trying to search the path column. (without name column) path: was the first attempt to get results from the path column only. I think it's the most intuitive. The search function "path:" still behaves like...

"Path" in Windows = what you call FullPath (There is no such a term FullPath in Windows. This is "Path".) That is not correct. Microsoft does distinguish between Path and FullPath. From the Microsoft style guide: I am happy with your sources. But we still have to ask: This is fr...

Nice image.
If you asked me, I would say that the "Parent Path" of "cs-CZ\" (and of the other folders in the list) is "C:\Boot" (not "C:").

Stamimail

Another suggestion: The behavior will depend on whether a Path column exists or not: If Path column does not exist - "Parent Folders" will be shown in the context menu of the Name column (when you right-click on a file/folder). If Path column exists - "Parent Folders" will not be...
