Update check does not work?

regex:\x{2013}

(he is a forum moderator there too) Nope. Just a very light user of the program. Actually, only very rarely do I use it. Most often, I use Everything. I only mod here & at NoScript (informaction.com). (And there, not so much anymore. No internet, so no FF, so no testing, so...) (Latest version of B...

Double check that you are still using the Everything Service & not running "As Administrator".

Note that the "suggested" Old/New format: need not necessarily be used - you can roll your own. In the above mp3 example, %1 - %2 - %3.flac, Old: %1.flac New: Hackers - %1.flac would have worked just as well. Or you could make other adjustments that better fit your needs. And a great tip, IMHO, Repl...

You have a broad search, train. You do not want anything more refined at that point, just train. You're presented with a list of 50,000 hits. red trains, blue trains, the little train that could... You're sorted, alpha or otherwise, perhaps by size... You're at the top of your list, 'a little train ...

You can simply add 1234 to your search

But you don't want to change or filter your search itself.

You only want to be able to easily search within your results list.

It would be really nice to have (Vim-like) regex: in the file list. Such that /1234 would go to the next 1234 - beginning or not. 1234, alone, taking you to ^1234 is fine, but /1234 to find 1234 anywhere in the name, or 1234$ to fine a name ending in 1234... Then a (Vim-like) 'n' (or 'N') to take yo...

When I search with web page

What do you mean by that?

how to add everything as a search engine in firefox?
Search Everything from HIGHLIGHTED word in browser

(Future, version 1.5 will have a 'Full Path Length' column.)

(I'll just "me too".
No issue with Preview.
Win10 (no idea what version)
Everything 1.4.1.965 x86 with the service
And I'll assume that it is Win10's handler & not some other that is generating the preview.)

That's on the to do list, but not there yet.

shortening... moving... restore... Yep, LFN (handling in Windows) sucks. I end up doing similar, a lot. Advanced Renamer has a convenient directory (in addition to the expected, file) renamer. So if you have a path & files like: c:/tmp/gobbly-gook-this-is-way-to-long-for-windows/red.png c:/tmp/gobb...

Tools | Options | General -> Results ---> Double quote copy as path

Note that that double double quotes

path, full path+name, &/or also, name.

The article actually has a link to the nightly build where this was addressed.
Since then, both current release & current beta's should be OK.

Not exactly. There is only so much it can do. There are actual (Windows) limitations too - like a 255 char limit per segment of file/path name. With some things, the future 1.5, will be better with. Like opening files that may not otherwise open (by passing the Short File Name to the application rat...

What may have happened, well, something along the lines of... originally it was indexed a Windows update came through, updated notepad.exe, & notepad.exe, being hardlinked, that one file, ended up in two spots, one being /windows/system32/ & the other being (whatever obscure [to us] location the oth...

Not sure I'm totally following... but, you don't need to necessarily use Advanced Search. You can simply make your wanted changes on the everything search line. So you have: ext:sql D:\www\db\ content:"insert into websiteOrder" Simply change websiteOrder to instoreOrder in the search box: ext:sql D:...

Just bumping this again - at least temporarily - as we are at the witching hour - and, I just had this occur, again. So... I have to see - if the file actually exists - at 0 bytes.

Just bumping this again - at least temporarily - as we are at the witching hour - and, I just had this occur, again.
So... I have to see - if the file actually exists - at 0 bytes.
Interesting to know its' "times". Why it might be? What steps I took that could have let to it happening?

(scan_volume_drive_letters looks to default to '1', so I'd think that to be odd - assuming that Pref, & not some other change, affected the fix for the issue here?)

(If you, your mouse, happens to be over the Path column rather then Name column, that may occur.)

Are you able to run the fsutil commands directly on the system where O: (\\auto.contiwan.com) resides?

(Seems fsutil won't work like that on an actual "foreign" system.
It would give limited information with a locally mapped, same system, drive letter.)

I believe he wants them treated as whitespace.
And that's why I asked about the quotation marks.
If not there, then 'the quick brown fox' works, but if actually needed, quotes, then it would not match 'the-quick-brown-fox'.

I would like to search just "is some filename" and it match In your example is is some filename actually in quotes? Cause if not, that would still match what you want (though it could pick up more, too, i.e. different ordering...). An Ignore Punctuation will be in 1.5. So, "batmans hacker page-" wi...

I have added this folder C:\Windows in the exclude folder list but the Everything on startup continues to search in C:\Windows. Might you have also added C: itself as a folder index? it freezes the app for a 2-3 minutes. This freezing happens only when C:\Windows is added to the Exclude list, or it...

Please try disabling icon shell extensions:

In Everything, type in the following search and press ENTER:
/icon_shell_extensions=0

If successful, you should see icon_shell_extensions=0 in the status bar for a few seconds.

Maybe if you describe your situation?

Maybe describe your situation & the issue you're having or the issue you're trying to avert?

(Again, not what you're wanting, but, Show exactly one copy of each filename?
And further off the track, Question: Comparing drives/folders for files.

Anyhow, a unique: might not be a bad idea, if it is doable.)

So everything shown in your screenshot are Folders? And you are sorted by Path. That being the case, they certainly should be listed (sorted) correctly - but they are not. Maybe some corruption with your .db. If you do a Force Rebuild, do things then work correctly, Tools | Options | Indexes -> Forc...

How many files are we talking about, & what Indexing options do you have selected?

Should a stale instance Update or Rebuild? As it is, if you have an instance that you have not used in a long time, when you open it, it does an Update. The Update can be quite time consuming (I'm thinking) compared to a Rebuild. Would it make sense for it to say, heh, I have not been here in a long...

What version of Everything?

On your end, do you have things set up such that these drive letters are (essentially) static?
IOW, when you plug in E:, it always shows up as E:, & not sometimes as E: & other times as F: or Z:?

These drives, are they seen by the OS as "fixed" or "removable"?

If you know dupes are kept on particular drives, you can exclude those drives !Z: . You can excludes dupes, !dupe: or !sizedupe: . (Note that dupe: [sizedupe:] are global in scope.) You can set up a Filter, say a NO-DUP Filter, that is an Everything filter - except that excludes dupes. So you can sw...

Make backup copies of the .db. Use the -read-only command-line switch to open the .db in read-only mode. Could even set up a separate instance of Everything that has that switch set, & just use that instance when you need to access its' .db data. Call it, Everything 4TB ;-). (Assuming you set up a s...

Try bookmarks csv (no dot, in case the file is name slightly different [if you were using a Named Instance].)

I used dm: cause I have that indexed, not dc:.)

Was 32 set to use the Everything Service, & 64 is set to Run As Administrator (or vice-versa)?
Or did you install into different locations?

Search for Everything.ini & make sure the .ini it finds, is using, is the one & in the location you're expecting it to be.

If History is insensitive, what do you do on odd time when you use a case: modifier in your search? case:case case:CASE Might be an odd occurrence, but it is one case ;-) where sensitivity matters.
