It would be great if this was supported natively by Everything!

I had the same though a couple of months ago and solved it using Autohotkey, using the following script that simply executes Windows Shortcuts:

Code: Select all

#NoEnv  ; Recommended for performance and compatibility with future AutoHotkey releases.
SendMode Input  ; Recommended for new scripts due to its superior speed and reliability.
SetWorkingDir %A_ScriptDir%  ; Ensures a consistent starting directory.

#v::
Run, C:\path\to\shortcuts\EverythingVideo.lnk
return

#x::
Run, C:\path\to\shortcuts\EverythingExe.lnk
return

The shortcuts then use Everything's command-line interface (See Help > Command-line options):

Code: Select all

C:\path\to\Everything.exe -matchpath -filter Video -sort "Name"

Now you just need to define filters like Video or Executable in Everything (See Search > Organize Filters).

You may need to start the Script with administrator-privileges, though.
