How to search within results

[DannyD]

Is there a way to search within the results of a previous search?

For example, I used 'd: child:*.gdoc' to find all folders on D drive which contain a .gdoc file. Everything returned a long list of folders. Now, I would like to search within those folders for any duplicate files. I know how to search for duplicate files. I'm trying to figure out how to search only within a set of previous search results.

Is this possible in Everything?

Note: dupe: works "globally".


Take your search, & add dupe: to it.

d: child:*.gdoc dupe:

Now that may show stuff like

d:\LETTERS\REAC\01hmanhudfin.gdoc
d:\LETTERS\EUDORA\ATTACH\01hmanhudfin.gdoc

& it may also show something like:

d:\LETTERS\CLEAN.0621\tmp\0830.gdoc

(where there is no corresponding name displaying,
because its' dupe: is being filtered out by your search parameters,
with the dupe: being, say here:

C:\TMP\0830.gdoc


Also note that dupe: only identifies file names that are dup'd, not necessarily contents (or anything else).


(There have been ways mentioned before, like exporting the results to a File List, importing that & modifying the search, that can give more accurate results to what you're looking for.)

What worked for me is:
"original search term" and dupe:

By adding the "and" the dupe: is done on the results of the original search term! Amazing!
