I love voidtools everything,

It made my work 10x faster then before

and I use it everyday over 200 times maybe

So, Is it possible to develop plugin to search other db query and result ??

for example: I want to integrate/search my ERP customer table with keyword , and quickly get the customer basic info/data

Long story short: No, that is not possible.

File lists might work?

Please make sure efu files are associated with Everything from Tools -> Options -> General -> EFU File association

For example, my.efu

Code: Select all

https://www.voidtools.com
https://www.voidtools.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=10&t=10131
Open this file list in Everything to view and search these two https links


This could be extended to your own URL Protocol and your own text in the URL.
For example:

Code: Select all

myprotocol://My Customer 1/keyword 1
myprotocol://My Customer 1/keyword 2
myprotocol://My Customer 2/keyword 1
myprotocol://My Customer 2/keyword 2
-or-

Code: Select all

myprotocol://keyword 1/My Customer 1
myprotocol://keyword 2/My Customer 1
myprotocol://keyword 1/My Customer 2
myprotocol://keyword 2/My Customer 2
Indexing plugins are on my TODO list. (Everything 1.6)

How do I register a custom URL protocol in Windows?

I tried to use EFU function, but everytime I set the EFU file ... and save to .EFU file...
While I opend the EDU editor next time, It's always missing the setting...
thus I can't search with EFU file...

What wrong with me ??

What setting is missing?



Is the index of your EFU filelist stale?

Everything 1.4 has poor EFU change detection.

Please try forcing a rebuild from Tools -> Options -> Indexes -> Force Rebuild.
Is the index of your EFU filelist now up-to-date?


EFU change detection has been improved in Everything 1.5 alpha.



Is Everything forgetting the Tools -> Options -> General -> EFU file association setting?

Is Windows not remembering your custom protocol?
