Can't find anything

Post by PapaSpice »

Hello everyone
I recently installed 'Everything', but my search results stay blank.
I have the same issue with windows search itself, so I was hoping Everything would solve this problem..unfortunately it has not.
Does anyone know how to resolve this issue?

Thanks in advance

Please try running Everything as a standard user and installing the Everything service:
  • In Everything, from the Tools menu, click Options.
  • Click the General tab on the left.
  • Check Everything service.
  • Uncheck Run as administrator.
  • Click OK.
  • Restart Everything (right click the Everything tray icon and click Exit).
Please try manually including your NTFS volumes:
  • In Everything, from the Tools menu, click Options.
  • Click the NTFS tab on the left.
  • For each NTFS volume:
    • Check Include in database.
  • Click OK.
Please make sure no search filters are active:
  • In Everything, from the Search menu.
  • Uncheck Match Case.
  • Uncheck Match Path.
  • Uncheck Match Diacritics.
  • Uncheck Match Whole Words.
  • Uncheck Enable regex.
  • Check Everything.
Please try disabling hide results on empty search:
  • In Everything, from the Tools menu, click Options.
  • Click the Results tab on the left.
  • Uncheck Hide results when the search is empty.
  • Click OK.
Your column widths might be corrupt, please try deleting your Everything.ini and restarting Everything:
  • Exit Everything (right click the Everything tray icon and click Exit).
  • In Windows Explorer, navigate to:
    %APPDATA%\Everything
  • Delete your Everything.ini
  • Restart Everything.
