Everything doesn't search the external hard disk

Post by yemanqitipo »

Hello. I'm using Everything to search for files on a USB flash drive, but there's a minor issue.
I noticed that Everything isn't indexing any external hard drives on my computer.
I confirmed that the file system on the USB drive is NTFS.
In Everything's settings, I checked the option "Automatically include new removable volumes,"
but after selecting the USB drive partition in the "Local NTFS volumes" listbox, the "Include in database" checkbox remains unchecked.
How can I make the "Include in database" checkbox selected by default for all USB drive partitions?

Automatically include new removalbe volumes will only work for new volumes.

If Everything has already seen the volume it will need to be manually included.

To manually include this volume:
  • In Everything 1.5, from the Tools menu, click Options.
  • Click the NTFS tab on the left.
  • Select the drive.
  • Check Include in database.
  • Click OK.
