Under Search -> Advanced -> Search for a list of filenames, Click Browse on the right, select your file list and click Open.

-or-

Search for:
includefilelist:"D:\TMP\List of files.txt"


include-filelist:



Looks like Everything is unintentionally removing the character after the space.
This will be fixed in the next update.
Thanks for bringing the issue to my attention.

Everything 1.5.0.1388a fixes an issue with spaces in the 'search for a list of filenames' field.

Thanks for the 1.5.0.1388a version! :)

I tested as follows:
Menu "Search" > Advanced Search... > Search for a list of file names: > Button '...' ("Open the List Editor.") > Import...
D:\TMP\List of files.txt ... click on "List of files.txt": The “Edit List” window is filled with the file names stored in the
“List of files.txt” > OK > Field "Search for a list of file names:" is being filled > OK >

The Everything 1.5 search box is filled as follows, for example:
filelist:D:\TMP\IMG-20230619-WA0008.jpg;D:\TMP\jpeg-bitmap.jpg;D:\TMP\mvimg-20180324-161541.jpg;D:\TMP\oivt.jpg;D:\TMP\thumb.jpg
and the files from the “List of files.txt” are displayed.

If you reopen the “Advanced Search” window, the files are displayed as follows in the “Search for a list of file names:” field:
D:\TMP\IMG-20230619-WA0008.jpg;D:\TMP\jpeg-bitmap.jpg;D:\TMP\mvimg-20180324-161541.jpg;D:\TMP\oivt.jpg;D:\TMP\thumb.jpg

Option - Edit file list:
Ctrl+click in “filelist:” opens the “Edit List” window.

Note:
When using Search for: includefilelist:“D:\TMP\List of files.txt”, the stored files are displayed IMMEDIATELY(!). :)
Unfortunately, this search function does not yet work with prefix ev: in Total Commander.
Advanced Search is not required in this case unless you want to narrow the search further.

Unclear:
Advanced Search > Search for a list of file names: > D:\TMP\List of files.txt
should, in my opinion, have the same function as includefilelist:
but brings up in the search box:
filelist:D:\TMP\List" "of" "files.txt

and in the search result... Name: List of files.txt, Path: D:\TMP
Here I would have expected the files that were saved in the “List of files.txt” file in the search result.

Please check.

Thank you for testing 1388a tuska,


When using Search for: includefilelist:“D:\TMP\List of files.txt”, the stored files are displayed IMMEDIATELY(!). :)
Unfortunately, this search function does not yet work with prefix ev: in Total Commander.
includefilelist: will only work from the main Everything search box.
It is not allowed from external calls.


Advanced Search > Search for a list of file names: > D:\TMP\List of files.txt
...
Here I would have expected the files that were saved in the “List of files.txt” file in the search result.
I will consider changing this to specify the filename like in includefilelist:
Thank you for the suggestion.
