I've just installed a new M.2 drive and a fresh Win 10 OS and reinstalled Everything. I've added all drives to the index and excluded nothing except Recycle Bin. For some reasons I can't see PST files when I search. The only thing that is odd about these files is that they are very large (>3 GB), bu...

Thanks again

Curiously, the "<" grouping method did not work, however, the double quotes method worked a treat!

Thank you so much

Thanks for the quick reply! But no, Regex is disabled.

I should also point out that I am using pipes to separate multiple criteria, eg
(noting again the space after the word)

I am a bit puzzled by this chanllenge. Consider these files: House front 123.jpg Houseboat 456.jpg Housers 789.jpg From the above I only want to find filenames starting with "House" followed by a space, ie: House front 123.jpg I've tried "House *" (noting the space), but it doesn't seem to honour th...

This should be rather straightforward, but it is not working as expected. I want to exclude files beginning with "Donald", "Melania" and "Jared" in a particular folder. I thought it would be as simple as this: "C:\Pictures" !Donald*|!Melania*|!Jared* But that does not work :? What am I doing wrong?

Thank you David for your ongoing professional attitude and this awesome product

I often toggle the "enable exclude list" on and off, depending on my mode of work. It's an excellent option, however, it's It's highly frustrating that toggling between excluding or not excluding forces a rescan of all drives. Is there any way for Everything to perhaps cache, store or otherwise reme...

Just chiming in to point out that Trend is now reporting "PUA.Win32.FileSearcher.E", not "C". The behaviour started yesterday, also FYI.

Thanks David - awesome response time!

I've noticed that it's not possible to add Exlcude paths with special characters , for example "Best photos 🖤". Even if I enter the 8.3 version of the path as an exclude path, it first seems to resolve it to the full name, so that potential workaround doesn't work either. Any updates on when this mi...

Brilliant! -I believe this will be a really handy expansion of flexibility

I'm confused now too. Does this mean I have to escape my commas to make them work as normal filename commas now, otherwise they behave as pipes?

I am not sure - that's a question for @void

Thanks David @void - that's excellent news.

Notepad++ parses JSON nicely. But I can see I am flogging a dead horse here, perhaps due to my limited understanding of "escaping-out" of something. Can I escape these thread? .. I'll let this one rest - would have been nice, but there are bigger fish to fry.

I think it's all there but not in an click=>done method. You have to type the commands Indeed it is, and all I needed was the code, not the interface. It took me a little while get the gist of the approach which is shown in the Constraints area of the help file as: <last|past|prev|current|this|comi...

Why can't you just search-and-replace your comma, tab, w/e delimiters with pipes on your own dime?

I agree with your comments, however, with frequent exchange of find sets between JSON & CSV and Everything, the process becomes somewhat tiresome.

Bookmarks are brilliant, especially when you couple them with Advanced Search operators. It's easy to look at the extensive range of options and think - "this has every conceivable option" - however, I realised today it misses one important operator/criteria option: Older/Newer than Age/Weeks/Days/H...

Not quite following what you're wanting?

I am suggesting that custom delimiters be allowed to be set, rather than the default (and only) current delimiter "|"

I have a lot of programs that creat/maintain lists with different delimiters than pipes "|" for example "," (JSON, CSV). Is it possible to set your preferred delimiter for use when searching for multiple strings?, eg "c:\" ThisFile,ThatFile,AnotherFile "c:\" ThisFile(ThatFile(AnotherFile "c:\" ThisF...

This was suggested before a couple of times (for example here). So It is already on the radar, That's great news! .. although unsure what the user interface is going to be. I was thinking that it would just be a case of right-clicking on the path field to append the active query with say "!C:\Exclu...

They are also great tips - I love Bookmarks!, however this is not the type of exclude that I wish to undertake on a permanent basis via a) Exclude List, or b) Bookmarks. As stated in the subject it is single use only (ie, not likely to ever need such an exclude again).

That's a good feature thanks, but unfortunately it's a great deal more work than context menu option.

Rather than toggling the Exclude List on and off in preferences (which results in a requery of the entire database), it would be fabulous to be able to right mouse click on the path and choose "Exclude this path from this query"
