Show Relative Path in Path column

Post by koolestani »

Can i make the path column display relative path only when searching within a specified directory.
I ask because when I have restricted the search location, seeing the full path beside every result seems unnecessary.
Consider this example
C:\Program Files\ contains a folder WindowsPowerShell, which contains a folder named Configuration in it, so this is how i'd prefer the paths column to work

Name
WindowsPowerShell
Configuration

Path
.
.\WindowsPowerShell\

Thank you for your suggestion.

  • If successful, path_ellipsis=1 is shown in the status bar for a few seconds.
This will show:
C:\Program Files\WindowsPowerShell
as:
C:\...\WindowsPowerShell

For now, please try enabling path_narrow:
  • Copy and paste the following into your Everything 1.5 search box:
    /path_narrow=1
  • Press ENTER in your Everything search box.
  • If successful, path_narrow=1 is shown in the status bar for a few seconds.
This will show:
C:\Program Files\WindowsPowerShell
as:
WindowsPowerShell (C:\...
