Using Eveything as an Catalog for a bunchs of disks

Post by Laurent4x »

Hello,
First, excuse me if this question was already adressed, I've searched but found nothing 100% answering my goal.

Well, I have a few (10) disks from some of my old systems.

I wish to run everything on each of them (mounted as external disk , one by one) to index them;
BUT i want to kept those indexes apart, not polluting my 'real', main index.

And, when from time to time I need to look for let's say "Wich one of my old disks contains that picture of 1995 picture ?"
I wish to run a seperate everything instance and ask it to search on my previously saved old-read-only-index.

Hope that was clear ?
Could you guys please instruct me on how to achieve such usecase ?
Cheers

Terrible ! New to the tool, I largely overlooked these areas.

Everything has gems all around... andthe gems are not even hidden !

Thanks
