Sorry, I did not test the filters sidebar before. It seems multiple selection of filters does the OR operation. I added another filter to the list: content:this (Search: content:this) I selected the Document filter, and then with ctrl the "content:this" filter (2 filters selected). I expec...

This is a hypothetical question:
Simultaneous use of multiple filters and a hierarchy of filters - If Everything wants it to be done by using the interface - What is the interface going to look like?

Something here is not clear to me. Suppose you have 100 files in your Everything index. 40 of those you are only interested in once a month. All other days those files show up in your result-list as "clutter" with every search you do. I thought we had 100 files in "Everything-1.5a.db&...

Stamimail

All the indexes that are displayed to the user, can really be behind the scenes one database file (if Everything has limitation with multiple db files). You can specify what percentage each index takes up from the one database file (Everything-1.5a.db). [V] index1 (50%) [V] index2 (30%) [V] index3 (...

btw, IMHO this dialog needs also to be improved.

The problem:
In an initial run of Everything you can not define how to build your first index according to your preferences. (For example: to index only a network folder)

Stamimail

Remove Index from Menu and place it under View menu Folders Advanced Search (TODO) Preview Filters Search History (TODO) Bookmarks (TODO) V Indexes in Indexes sidebar you will be able to manage indexes: [ V ] index1 ◉ (online-monitored) [...] (edit-index-button )↩ (rebuild-button) [ V ] index2 (remo...

3. Omission of folders - 2 commands needs here. It should be clear to the user if he is only omitting the appearance of the folder without its descendants, or omitting the folder with its descendants. Everything 1.5.0.1311a makes some changes to omit results. Temporarily omitting a folder result wi...

Stamimail

How? Indexes > Exclude would also exclude the content of filelists. I have already written that the idea is to create a command, which when written explicitly in the search bar, it will override what is on Indexes > Exclude, and will add index to index. If you do not want to allow this from the sea...

Stamimail

(although there is no need to check if a file matches the search query if it doesn't already match the filter; just trying to keep it "simple") This line needs in-depth study. Option 4 You could permanently exclude those files (Indexes > Exclude) and once a month: Select a Bookmark/Filter...

Inspired by "Index" ->"Enable Omit Results" (1310a) that is adding entries in Menu and ContextMenu I had a thought maybe it would be right to combine "Context Menu" tab (in Options) with Menu customisation to one Menu Organizer which allow the user not only to customize...

Stamimail

One of the advantages of 'Omit' over using a filter is speed. Upon file changes, it is decided if a file belongs in the 'Omit' category or the 'regular' category. The 'omit' results are parked aside in a separate database table and have no longer influence on Search speed. It might even make the se...

BTW, I think there was something experimental to do it. Try in search bar:

Code: Select all

Ctrl+Click on filelist0, You'll see "Edit File List 0" dialog. Now try:

If you want to search and read every post with the word "temporary excludes" then you will understand why and how people use it. I guess it's a hard way, for me at least. That's much easier than asking everyone to repeat here what they already wrote in those immortal posts. No need to rep...

raccoon: I ask myself, what problem the user encountered that this feature is going to solve. This feature was formerly called "Temporary excludes", as if the user was looking for some "temporary" solution. According to your explanation, I don't think the user wanted "Tempor...

I like the Omit function (although the word itself is a bit uncommon for me as a non-English person; It comes to me from a Google translation. Omit a line in the text - להשמיט שורה בטקסט Leg of a chair dropped - רגל של כסא שנשמטה In Everything 1.4 I use a "NoNonsense" default filter. That...

A common request is for an exclude alternative to Tools -> Options -> Exclude that doesn't require a rebuild. Suppose someone scans and indexes a large network folder, and he wants to do exclude. Why couldn't he solve this using bookmark / filter settings (and the Home tab if needed)? What exactly ...

First, me. This is my scenario. The omission does not affect other windows, only the current window. Another example: What you called "Temporarily Omit" that was the feature I was looking for. In the test, a path like "C:\Wallpapers\Cars" was searched in Everything. I changed the...

Stamimail

Just to make it more clear what users wanted to do that they could not do until now.
Who are going to use "Temporary excludes" / "Omit Results"?

This question may be important to examine and determine the default behavior.

It is interesting to see that if you check by a screen color picker, you'll see there are 3 types of blue here:

The only thing I can think of is to uncheck all the entries on the omit list.

A solution can be using Everything instances

Nice. I see for the first time "Mouse Shortcuts". I guess creating a tab for Mouse shortcuts customization will be much more complicated task. It will require including the target element and the available actions. A discussion on Mouse, it's for another topic.

To set the search to /restart from a bookmark, use the following bookmark search: /expand /restart It works.

Can I ask, why are you restarting Everything often enough to want a keyboard shortcut? I think it will be good particularly for test versions. I remember myself restarting in process of testing and translating. There is already Ctrl+Shift+Q. Naturally, I pressed Ctrl+Shift+R looking for restarting....

Tested. What you called "Temporarily Omit" that was the feature I was looking for. In the test, a path like "C:\Wallpapers\Cars" was searched in Everything. I changed the view to Medium Thumbnails (Ctrl+Shift+3). I could select all the yellow cars, and omit. Amazing . :D There is...

As you can see, the difference between "Temporary Excludes" and "Omit Results" ideas is that "Omit Results" is intended for only the current search. After omitting, I still will be able to press Ctrl+N to open a New Search Window, and for searching the same search, I'll...

The question is what should be the default?
What is the common way?

Tested. Better. I think a command like "Search Everything..." should be added for each, to search a Parent Folder in Everything.

Actually, "Omit Results" doesn't have to be implemented with stop the real-time updating of the result list (Omit Results mode) It can continue with the real-time updating the index and results, and make its magic in background, or in GUI by popping-up a Secondary SearchBar. I'll explain l...

Stamimail

I've just started playing with omit and I think your reply about creating a temporary omit answers a question I was going to ask. Presumably temporary omit would not go on the omit list and omit wouldn't have to be enabled for the temp omit to work? At the moment, as far as I can see, omit has to b...

Stamimail

For the sake of the order, from my point of view: 1. My idea/suggestion about " Omit Results " was introduced in 26/06/2015. 2. In Everything 1.5 Alpha (13/03/2021), " Temporary Excludes " feature was introduced. It was a different feature that was implemented. It was not my idea...

Stamimail

Confusion can happen because of the changes in the last updates. Until recently we used two different expressions to diagnose 2 legitimate features: 1. Enable Temporary Excludes 2. Omit Results So what terminology to use for each one? You will decide according to how it sounds better to you in Engli...

What about the original idea of " Omit Results "? After searching you get a list of files. You can't select all files (Ctrl+A) and do an action (copy/move/rename...) because there are unwanted files in this list. You select the unwanted files, and omit them by RightClickMenu or a hotkey, t...

Stamimail

This topic started because the meaning of the default "Search + Enter" in Everything is landing on the highest RunCount result.(No matter what the current sort is)
I did not say that it is impossible to reach the desired in two or three steps.

Stamimail

And changing the sort order upon ENTER .. horror, just horror ..

Do you have a better idea how to enter to "RunCount mode"? OK, you can say that saving one step it's not a big deal.

Stamimail

Add keyboard commands for incrementing/decrementing/clearing the run count. If you have 100 items with a value of 1 RunCount, I guess it will not help. I think my assumption was probably wrong. Because editing the RunCount affects not only the current search but also other searches. The goal was th...

Stamimail

NotNull, as a user that always uses Run Count (descending), what are you saying about idea 2. , do you think it could have helped you, or not needed?

Stamimail

ad. 1. Why not simply make your default Home sort Run Count (descending) then? When you need something else, like Name, click the Name column as that is easily accessible. (that is what I do. btw) I knew @raccoon can ask you @NotNull about his question: would you find it useful for the Run Count co...

Stamimail

My default is: Options -> General -> Home -> Sort: [ Name (Ascending) ] Only when I press Enter and there is an item/s with RunCount exist, I think the Result List can be improved to change its behaviour and display things differently. If I press Enter and there is no item with RunCount, the current...

Stamimail

The default is good. When you press "Search + Enter" you want
1 = Focus most run result (default)
But sometimes, you miss the target and you need the 2nd or the 3rd of the RunCount...
After all, that is what Menu| File > Set Run Count... is for.

Stamimail

Currently, when doing "Search + Enter", the item with the highest RunCount is selected. I think things can be improved here: 1. After Enter - the Result List should be auto-sorted by RunCount. 2. Then, the user will also be able to move items by ↑↓ hotkeys up/down in the Result List (it wi...
