Is enabling "automatically remove offline volumes" from Tools -> Options -> NTFS an option? Or, would you like to keep certain offline drives in your index? -If you double click these offline drives under Tools -> Options -> NTFS, does Everything show a unique GUID for each one? If so, we should add...

Thank you for your feedback Stamimail, 1. The name is "Navigation Pane" in Windows I will consider using the name: Navigation pane. Previous versions of Windows Explorer used "Folders". Currently, the folder sidebar in Everything is less about navigation and more about filtering. This might change w...

Currently, only filenames, size, date modified, date created and attributes are shared from the Everything Server. Other properties are not shared, even if indexed. A "Property Server" is planned for a future release of Everything. For now, you will need to setup property indexing for each client. E...

Use double quotes (") to escape the colon:

filter:"content:this"

I do not have a release date yet sorry. I recommend using your own filters for the most control. Here are the default filters for Everything 1.5: Audio: ext:aac;ac3;aif;aifc;aiff;amr;ape;au;cda;dts;fla;flac;it;m1a;m2a;m3u;m4a;m4b;m4p;mid;midi;mka;mod;mp2;mp3;mpa;ogg;opus;ra;rmi;spc;rmi;snd;umx;voc;w...

Everything 1.5.0.1314a will now replace the search parameters with empty text when opening a bookmark.

Everything 1.5.0.1314a will no longer load the root Everything.ini without an instance name.

Everything should now correctly rescan the full sub folder structure after a folder is moved.

No worries!
It can be tricky to see the difference between i and l with some fonts.

Are you searching for

*.lnk

or

*.ink

?

Shortcuts use the

.lnk

extension.

No, the database is not ON the removable drive, but the removable drive is included on the database This should be fine. As long as you are storing the Everything database on a disk that is fixed and always online. "Last rebuild reason: Unable to open database file." It sounds like the Everything d...

Thank you for the issue report Adrain##P, What version of Everything are you using? Is the drive with missing folders an NTFS volume? or something else? Please make sure no search options are checked under the Search menu (eg: uncheck match case, uncheck match whole words, uncheck regex) Please make...

The Network Drives list shows all online network drives and offline network drives in your index. Online drives cannot be removed.

Hi, may I confirm what you mean by tick-checked & not square-checked? /windows.10.tick.checked.png tick-checked = Everything Service is installed and running.

Are you keeping Everything running 24/7? If so, you can disable the daily rescan and just rescan once a week/month. Attempt to monitor changes is quite reliable and will pickup all changes. Please note: Indexing your fileserver1 as \\fileserver1 is not as reliable as indexing your fileserver1 as \\f...

What settings are you using for content indexing under Tools -> Options -> Content? There are some large files here. Everything will attempt to pre-cache these large files. This might be causing Everything to run out of memory. This is made worse by using multiple threads for content indexing. Norma...

wait, are macros and filters different? Filters and bookmarks can have macros. https://www.voidtools.com/support/everything/searching/ These are filter macros. In Everything 1.5, you can define macros without adding a filter or bookmark . in Everything 1.5 you can have filter macros, bookmark macro...

But I don't see why march*.mp3 "j:\For Sd\04" doesn't work? I thought asterisk could represent anything? Is Space an exception? And why does this work? *march*.mp3 "j:\For Sd\04" march*.mp3 will look for files starting with march and ending with mp3 Your mp3 files most likely do not start with marc...

Thank you for the screenshots. Your C: drive is indexed as a "folder index" only. This is fine. For the best performance, please consider indexing your C: drive as an NTFS volume: In Everything , from the Tools menu, click Options . Click the General tab on the left. Check Everything Service .

Glad to help. Does this mean the SMB cache was not actually an issue? Or perhaps the SMB cache fix will still be useful for other related cases? SMB cache syncronization is still an issue for versions prior to 1313a. I just did a test with your sample folder structure and the folder named "folder" ...

Thank you for testing 1313a malventano,

Thank you for the sample folder structure.
I was able to produce the issue my end.

Everything was not processing the list of folders to rescan correctly.
This issue will be fixed in the next alpha update.

I have put on my TODO list to index content within compressed files.

Thank you for the suggestion.

You can search, display, sort by and index zip filenames with Everything 1.5.

Indexing the Container Filenames property
Searching the Container Filenames property

Everything currently expands to the longest text length seen for the current search.

I have put on my TODO list to use the longest text from the visible results when sizing columns to fit.
Thanks for the suggestion.

I will consider checkboxes for the NTFS volume list.

Thank you for the suggestion.

Here is the statistics log with the entry "Last rebuild reason: Add folder" Thank you for the stats. This means a folder was added to Tools -> Options -> Folders. It is possible this rescan was not a rebuild. Maybe a rescan was accidentally triggered from Index -> Recsan? Did you recently add the C...

rmw, do you have a M1 mac running Parallels?

I would be happy to assist with getting Everything going on Windows ARM.

If anyone can test, please post any issues here or send me an anonymous message.

I will consider a Do Nothing option.
Thank you for the suggestion.

I would like to keep this interface as simple as possible.

Clicking cancel currently does nothing.

A little problem,if set "tag:query:" ,press hotkey will type "tag:query" in everything. The correct way is that type"tag:" without "query" This will be fixed in the next alpha update.

Everything currently uses the extension frequency for the current results. (not the entire index) This is causing too much confusion.

Changing the filter should not cause a rescan.

Sorry, I was focused on the sd\04 part. Please try the following search: march .mp3 "j:\for sd\04" *march*.mp3 is the same as: march .mp3 j:\for sd\04* is two terms: j:\for AND sd\04* Use double quotes to escape spaces: "j:\for sd\04*" "j:\for sd\04*" is the same as: "j:\for sd\04" The reason: *marc...

Consider disabling match whole filename when using wildcards:

In Everything, from the Tools menu, click Options.
Click the Search tab on the left.
Uncheck Match whole filename when using wildcards.

Now sd\04* will match anywhere in the full path.

sd\04*

Everything will look for the full path starting with sd\04
The full path does not start with sd\04, it starts with J:\For SD\sd\04

Please try the following search:
*sd\04*

-or-

"J:\For SD\04*"

sd\04
is treated exactly the same as:
*sd\04*

To search ID3 tags, please try the following search functions:

album:<text>
artist:<text>
comment:<text>
genre:<text>
title:<text>
track:<number>
year:<number>

For example:
album:"my album"
artist:"John Doe"
Genre:"Electronic"
title:"My title"
track:9
year:1990..1999

Thank you for your feedback.

Thank you for the db stats. - Content: include only folders (19 huge folders), include only files (*.cue;*.txt), maximum size: 0 mb Content indexing is the reason for such a large database.

Thanks for the bug report Stamimail,

Currently, Omitting a result will cause a research.

The research will clear your temporarily omitted results.

I have put on my TODO list to omit results without a research.

I think it's not clear enough to put foldericon+foldername, and you need to put "Parent Folders >" back. I will consider using a Parent Folders submenu name. I don't know if you can make this context menu and this folder list go upside: I will consider an option to show the parent folders in order ...
