How to perform a re-search or re-scan?

I'm running Everything 1.4.1.87 (x86).
I've performed a search (on a network share, SMB I think, a NAS box). I've added or changed a file name on the network device. How do I get Everything to perform a re-search or re-scan or to otherwise re-fresh the search results? Under "View" I can refresh the results list, but this does not search for new results or changes.

To add your network share to your Everything index:
- In Everything, from the Tools menu, click Options.
- Click the Folders tab on the left.
- Click Add Folder....
- Select your mapped network drive or network share.
(for example: J: drive or \\server\share)
- Click OK.
Everything will be unable to see mapped network drives if you run Everything as administrator.
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.
To rescan a folder index:
- In Everything, from the Tools menu, click Options.
- Click the Folders tab on the left.
- Select mapped network drive or network share.
- Click Rescan Now.
- Click OK.

I don't want to add this NAS contents to the Everything index, it is connected only sporadically.
I did select Tools Options Rescan now and it did what I wanted. Thanks.
I would suggest that "Rescan Now" be added to the Search drop-down list.
