Hey all ,
I'm currently going through my Android at this moment and have 100's of video files I want to ensure are backed up - between online and offline.
I've got Everything working well with GSuite and can quickly search for individual filenames to ensure they're online, I also have *some* of these files offline on an ext HDD.
Wondering if I can prepare a list of the multiple files I'm looking for, like in a txt file, each filename per line, or something, to then get into Everything that might be able to show me a list of results?
In order to see what's online, offline, on HDD, etc.
Other than that, using Everything more and more, how does anyone live without it!?
Search for list of files?
Re: Search for list of files?
Save the filenames (either as the basename or full path and filename) in a txt file encoded as UTF-8
basename only Example:
full path and filename Example:
To search this txt file:
Note: there is a display limit of 4000 characters so your search box may appear empty. However, it will still function correctly.
basename only Example:
Code: Select all
My file.txt
My song.mp3
My Video.mp4
Code: Select all
c:\documents\My file.txt
c:\music\My song.mp3
d:\videos\My Video.mp4
- In Everything, from the Search menu, click Advanced Search.
- Scroll down to the bottom and to the right of Search for a list of file names, click Browse....
- Select your txt file and click Open.
- Click OK.
Note: there is a display limit of 4000 characters so your search box may appear empty. However, it will still function correctly.

Re: Search for list of files?
Thanks very much, yet I just followed your steps with copying and pasting random photo filenames (no extensions) for a wordpress install and it only showed the following files:

Here's what ended up in search bar:

Re: Search for list of files?
Anything?
I realise no you were specifying full filenames, but that's not what I need.
Can it work as a multiple item partial text search?

Re: Search for list of files?
For partial searches, please try the following:
- In Everything, type in the following search and press ENTER:
/paste_new_line_op=1 - where 1 is OR and 0 is AND (default)
- If successful you should see paste_new_line_op=1 in the status bar for a few seconds.
- Paste the contents of multi-line text file into the search bar in Everything. -If possible try avoid copying the last empty line or remove the trailing |<> in your search.
this search can take several seconds to complete.
