es.exe search for date-created is very slow

Post by shingu »

The command is:

Code: Select all

C:\Program Files\Everything>es.exe -sort dc -n 10
It took about 30 seconds to run.

Please enable date created indexing:
  • In Everything, from the Tools menu, click Options.
  • Click the Indexes tab on the left.
  • Check Date created indexing.
    (requires an additional 8 bytes per file)
  • Check Fast date created sort.
    (requires an additional 8 bytes per file)
  • Click OK.
Searching for Date Created should now be instant.
Sorting by Date Created should now be instant and persistent.
