Currently it can not be hidden.
This dialog is only shown if you perform an action on the Everything database while Everything is already busy.
What action did you perform to show this dialog?

I've added the ini option: cancel_delay for the next beta update.

Set this to the number of milliseconds to wait before showing the cancel dialog, or set to zero to never show the dialog.

Thank you. It does appear every time I select another window while a query is running. Maybe it is related to the amount of indexed items (in my case around 11 million)...

I don't have a simple fix for this unfortunately. It should improve in a future release of Everything with shared read access to the database.

I've added the ini option: cancel_delay to Everything 865b.

To disable the cancel dialog:
  • In Everything, type in the following search and press ENTER:
    /cancel_delay=0
To set the cancel dialog delay to 30 seconds:
  • In Everything, type in the following search and press ENTER:
    /cancel_delay=30000
To set the cancel dialog delay to the default of 1 second:
  • In Everything, type in the following search and press ENTER:
    /cancel_delay=1000

Not sure what's going on. Copied my current folder with Everything-1.3.3.658b.x86 and extracted "Everything-1.4.1.865b.x86.zip" into that folder. There's no loading of the database and queries are not performed so I can't test it... Tried forcing database build, start with -read -only parameters and without them.

Make sure that you're using the Everything Service (or right-click & run Everything.exe 'As Administrator').

Options | General -> Use Everything Service

Ok I know what happened: all the drives were set to not be included in the database. Even when I created a new folder with only the executable and the lang files; no older ini settings. Attempted to run now with the older database and -read-only parameter and it was again blank. But if I run it without any parameters it starts to index the drives...
I did enabled in the beginning In options > General > Run as administrator
without change, then I realized all the drives were not set to be included in the database.

Will try the "cancel_delay" ini setting once it finishes indexing...
