What do you mean by "multiple clicks" & "one/multiple instances"?

Multiple clicks, of what?
Multiple instances, of what?

What are you doing, & what is happening, & what are you look to happen?

Oh.

allow_multiple_windows

Create a new search window or show an existing search window when Everything.exe is run. If set to 1, a new search window is always created. If set to 0 and no search window exists a new one is created. If set to 0 and a search window already exists, the existing search window is shown.

OK, with that, 1413b, I am seeing the expected action.

allow_multiple_windows=0 (the default setting)

C:\> Everything.exe -s abc123

Opens Everything, searches for "abc123".

C:\> Everything.exe -s abc123

Opens Everything, searches for "abc123" - in the currently open window/tab.

C:\> Everything.exe -s abc123
C:\> Everything.exe -s abc123
C:\> Everything.exe -s abc123

Ditto, all searches open in the same window/tab.

-

allow_multiple_windows=1

C:\> Everything.exe -s abc123

Opens Everything, searches for "abc123" - in a new window.

C:\> Everything.exe -s abc123
C:\> Everything.exe -s abc123
C:\> Everything.exe -s abc123

Ditto, all searches open in a new window.

So, why aren't you seeing the same?

You aren't running from a command line/batch file.

Tell us about your "click".

[void]

Check if you are calling Everything with -new-window

-new-window will override allow_multiple_windows=0

Please send your Help -> Troubleshooting information.

Sorry for my English. I hope translation software can do better. Thank you.

I created a shortcut in the taskbar, without any parameters, just the absolute exe path.

Originally, when I set it to allow only one window, if I clicked it once, it would create one window, and clicking it again would activate the existing window in Everything.

But in the current version, if I click it again, it opens a new window. This setting seems to have become ineffective.

[void]

It's the new -is-relaunch-command command line option that is sent when clicking on the taskbar button.

This will ignore your allow_multiple_windows setting.
I'll have this fixed in the next update.

For now, right click the Everything taskbar button.
Right click Everything and click Properties.
Add

-no-new-window

to the end of the target.
