Is anyone having trouble indexing the OneDrive folder?

Is the Everything index of the OneDrive folder missing any files or folders?

Yes I'm having that exact problem...
  • All files and folders are synced, so it's not on demand
  • Tried rebuilding the index several times at no avail
  • Manually added the OneDrive folder to Options > Indexes > Folders but to no avail
  • Running on Windows 11 22H2 64 Bits
  • OneDrive is Build 23.169.0813.0001 (64 bits)
  • Everything is Versie 1.4.1.1024
For the rest awesome piece of software!

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.
  • 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.
Does the issue persist?

Anything excluded under Tools -> Options -> Exclude?

Any active filter or search options checked under the Search menu?

No that I find no.

However some files (eg iTunesToDatabase.ps1) in my Onedrive are found (three times) and others aren't (eg. zendschema)

Does disabling Match Case from the Search menu help?

I have a problem with ondrive, maybe it's had to do with Everything,
lately happened to me a few time's, files i saved on the desktop (syinc. on onedrive!) and then moved to another folder, after a few months, i see them back on the desktop (and also on the other oocation!)
I realized now it happend to me only with DOCS files that they are Content Indexed by Everything.
Can that have to do with Everything?

Might be an issue with Everything detecting changes to your OneDrive folder.

How are you indexing your OneDrive folder?

Does forcing a rebuild help?
  • In Everything, from the Tools menu, click Options.
  • Click the Indexes tab on the left.
  • Click Force Rebuild.
  • Click OK.
