Empty search result (0 objects) for any search

[jhertel]

More than once I have experienced that Everything 1.3.4.686 (x64) shows an empty result list no matter what I search for.

It also happened now.

Facts that I have checked are true:

• This happens no matter what I search for.
• The result is empty even if I turn off the option "Hide search results when the search is empty" and the search is empty (I search for nothing).
• The C drive, which is the system drive, is activated for searching, included in the database, monitored for changes, using NTFS, and USN Journal is enabled for it.
• The Everything service is running.
• I am using the Everything service for searching.
• Match path is on.
• Match case is off.
• Match whole word is off.
• Match diacritics is off.
• Enable regex is off.
• Search | Everything is selected.
• Restarting the service had no effect – still an empty result list no matter what I search for.

Finally, restarting the Everything user interface triggered a new scanning of the C drive, and only after that it worked.

Can this be anything else than a bug?

This is an old thread, however, please try forcing a rebuild:

• In Everything, from the Tools menu, click Options.
• Click the Indexes tab on the left.
• Click the Force rebuild button.
• Click OK.

To restart Everything:

• right click the Everything system tray icon and click Exit.
• Restart Everything from the start menu shortcut, desktop shortcut or quick launch shortcut.

Please try the Everything 1.4 beta:

Everything 1.4 fixes the empty database issue in Everything 1.3.
