I will consider merging the two. Currently, bookmarks allow you to control more than just the search, for example: the view, columns, sort, index etc... The advanced search sticks to the search only. The advanced search could be a subset of a bookmark. I'll look into allowing the use of the advanced...

Moved from everything indexes the content but is slow to provide results . I have on my TODO list to indicate the performance of each search function . Search Weights covers this a little. Internally, every single search function is weighted. I may publish these weights closer to release. For now, t...

Everything 1.5 has improved support for searching image properties such as width and height.

The following searches should work as expected:
width:>1020
height:<=800

width:
height:

Showing the attributes in Everything may also help here:

Right click the result list column header and click Attributes.
A will be shown if the ARCHIVE attribute bit is set.

I've added a Help link to the main Everything page.

I've added a Stickied Threads link to the Everything 1.5 help page.

I've stickied some of the mentioned threads.
Please let me know if you would like to see a particular thread stickied.

Thank you for the suggestions.

Thank you for your feedback ccim,

Please try enabling "Store settings and data in %APPDATA%\Everything" as horst.epp suggests.

Please let us know if the issue persists.

As you have found: If Everything was not running, calling Everything.exe will block until Everything exits. If Everything was running, calling Everything will pass the command line to the existing instance and this call returns immediately. Use the new -wait command line option if you want the call ...

The dupe: syntax has changed a lot in Everything 1.5. Even since this old thread.. The syntax is now: dupe:<property-list> For example: dupe:size dupe:name dupe:size;name dupe: size: This will not do what you are expecting. Please try: dupe:size I might have to start a thread dedicated to dupe:... e...

As you guessed, Everything will find files with a size over 3000KB first as the size information is indexed.

Everything will only need to gather the dimensions property for the large files. (instead of all *.jpg files)

Changing the sort order when using count: will force Everything to perform a requery. The requery will perform a fresh search. (doesn't use existing results) The search and sort is typically instant due to searching with presorted indexes. For example, you asked for 10 items and you are sorting by d...

Thank you for the bug report aybe,

I have put this on my Things to fix list.

Thank you for the suggestion koolestani,

This is a bug.

I'll have this context menu working in the next alpha update.

I have put on my TODO list to show a dialog to override the existing keyboard shortcut.

Thank you for the suggestion.

I'll add the following search commands in the next alpha update: about:bookmarks.csv about:filters.csv about:macros.csv about:plugins.ini These commands will open Windows Explorer and select the specified data file. I will consider an option to open the bookmarks.csv in Notepad. For now, these files...

Thank you for the debug logs. Everything is monitoring the I: drive and picking up the New Folder creation. If you notice Everything missing changes again, could you please resend the debug logs: In Everything, from the Tools menu, under the Debug submenu, click Start Debug Logging. Let Everything s...

Everything doesn't really have a sense of "the folder being searched"

Everything 1.5 will have the option to search relative depths with the parent+x: search function.

For example:
parent+1:c:\Windows

more discussion here.

Unfortunately, the headers in the HTTP server results cannot be customized.

I will consider an option to customize these headers.
Thank you for the suggestion.

I'm seeing the expected results here. There could still be an issue with Everything.. To be sure, are you confusing sibling count with child count? Sibling-count will count the number of files/folders in the same location. (excluding self) Child-count will count the number of child files/folders. Si...

Currently, Everything doesn't have an option to do this.

I will consider adding an option to mark a folder and a command to paste to the marked folder.
Thank you for the suggestion.

:quot: will not work, you'll need to use quot: The quot: syntax has limitations. You cannot easily combine with other text.

I will consider checking for updates weekly.

Thank you for the suggestion.

You would need to do a two-pass search: First search for your wifes 7z backup files, eg: "c:\backup\" *.7z sort:date-created Copy the latest file to the clipboard and search for: dm:>=[get-date-created: clipboard:] Consider adding these as bookmarks Under Bookmarks -> Add to bookmarks....

(2) But in particular a macro can be applied to/as a filter. Is this correct? A Macro is a text shortcut for your filter. A filter can define one macro.

Please try the findbar in Everything 1.5:

In Everything 1.5, Press Ctrl + F to show the findbar.
Search for: _2.
Check Highlight All.

Thank you for testing the alpha version of Everything 1.5.

The main Everything 1.5 page lists changes.

Each change is also added to the end of this topic as a new post.

These are alpha builds, not all changes are listed.
I'll add all changes once in beta.

Thank you for the feedback Raindrops,

I will consider a simple "ignore punctuation when pasting in the search box" UI option.

For now, search_edit_paste_format will give the user full control over rewriting the pasted text.

Everything 1.5.0.1336a make some changes to size searching: size: will now search the floored size with the specified precision (kb/mb/gb). For example: size:2gb will match files with a size of: 2147483648-3221225471 bytes. (2gb - 3gb) size:2.0gb will match files with a size of: 2147483648-22548578...

search_edit_paste_format might be of interest.

Everything 1.5.0.1336a will now hide the preview when deselecting the focused item.

Everything 1.5.0.1336a will now focus the result list when hovering over an item.

I will consider options to focus the search box and other widgets on hover.
(and to focus the result list when in double click mode)

Thank you for the suggestions.

Thanks for the issue report.

I haven't updated this notification yet.
I'll do this soon.

Everything 1.5.0.1336a fixes an issue with sibling-count: not matching files after the results change.

Everything doesn't know what a video is.

Surely there's existing third party thumbnail handlers that generate a thumbnail from the video source?

Everything 1.5.0.1336a adds the following preprocessor functions:

#utf8len:
#is-db-read-only:
#is-safe-mode:

Everything 1.5.0.1336a adds the following formula functions:

utf8len() - calculate the length of string in UTF-8 bytes.

Added Column A - Column F

Everything 1.5.0.1336a will now slightly increase the rename edit control so it covers the entire row height.

Everything 1.5.0.1336a adds a search_edit_paste_format ini setting. To automatically replace punctuation with spaces when pasting text in the search box: Copy and paste the following into your Everything search box: /search_edit_paste_format=[regex-replace:[regex-replace:$newtext:,"[`~!@#$%^&*()\-=...

For example: column1:=formatfiletime(dm:).."|"..formatfiletime(dc:) Shorter example: column1:=formatfiletime(dm:)"|"formatfiletime(dc:) Double quotes are only need for operators. | is an operator meaning OR. {} are not used as operators, so these don't need ...

Everything 1.5.0.1336a adds the following ini settings:

volume-name:
column-a:
column-b:
column-c:
column-d:
column-e:
column-f:

eval: now supports column formulas.
ext: now supports wildcards.

Everything 1.5.0.1336a improves the eval: search function. The eval: function now uses column formulas instead of the preprocessor. The search matches when the eval expression evaluates as true or non-zero. For example, to compare date modified as seconds to date created as seconds: eval:$dm:/10000...
