Duplicates the same name and size - possible?

Post by salazor »

Is it possible to find duplicates only with the same name and size? - I tried these combinations:

Code: Select all

dupe:sizedupe:
sizedupe:dupe:
dupe: sizedupe:

dupe: and sizedupe: find duplicates in the entire index, not the current results, so the results are not very meaningful when you combine these two search functions.

Think of dupe: and sizedupe: in Everything as:
duplicated file names in the entire index and duplicated sizes in the entire index.

finding duplicated names in a list of duplicated sizes (or duplicated sizes in a list of duplicates names) is a two pass search, which Everything is not designed to do.

Thanks for the answer - just forgot to write, it's about the entire index.

not very meaningful
But also not necessarily not meaningful.
I never thought to combine the two, & I do see uses for that - while understanding the limitations too.

Thanks.
