The rescan might occur if there was too many changes to your file systems while Everything was not running.

Please make sure Everything is installed correctly and running as a standard user:
  • In Everything, from the Tools menu, click Options.
  • Click the General tab on the left.
  • Check Store settings and data in %APPDATA%\Everything.
  • Check Start Everything on system startup.
  • Uncheck Run as administrator.
  • Check Everything Service. (Please make sure this is tick-checked and not square-checked)
  • Click OK.
  • Exit Everything (right click the Everything tray icon and click Exit).
  • Restart Everything.
Please check for any software that might be spamming your file systems.
Please try sorting by date modified to view recently modified files.

Installed as you wrote.
I noticed that it does not work when searching exactly inside the folder when (entering the program through the context menu).

Please try prefixing your path search with parent:

For example:

parent:c:\windows

-or-

parent:"C:\program files"

Use double quotes to escape spaces.

I tried it, nothing has changed.
Checked again the problem is only when searching inside the folder.

Another reboot helped.
