Hi folks.
i have 10 drives on my pc, and another 6 in a server. all cataloged by everything. however i would like to know if there is anyway of filtering just showing search results for one drive only. instead of all of them?

Include the drive letter + colon (:) in your search.
For example, to limit your results to the D: drive, include the following in your search:
d:
To limit your results to the E: or F: drive, include the following in your search:
e:|f:
| = OR
Consider adding a filter for each drive:
- In Everything, from the Search menu, click Add to filters....
- Change the Name to: C:
- Change the Search to: c:
- Click OK.
(repeat for each drive)
Filters can be activated from the Search menu, Filter bar (View -> Filters), right clicking the status bar, filter macro or filter keyboard shortcut.
Everything 1.5 will have a
folders sidebar.

Include the following in your search:
\\trunenas\18Tb
To add this as a filter:
- In Everything, from the Search menu, click Add to filters....
- Change the Name to: 18TB
- Change the Search to: \\trunenas\18Tb\
- Click OK.

Please also consider a shorter macro:
- In Everything, from the Search menu, click Add to filters....
- Change the Name to: 18TB
- Change the Search to: \\trunenas\18Tb\
- Change the macro to: 18tb
- Click OK.
You now only need to search for: 18tb: instead of: \\trunenas\18Tb\
