Double Results

Post by ramzi »

When I enter a search word, I get two lines for every result. When I then rename or delete, the change occurs to both. I have gone through Options to see what could have caused this and I can't see anything. It must be there though so perhaps someone on this forum has a solution.

btw, I wrote Support about two weeks ago and got no reply.

Please try removing any folder indexes that may have already been included as NTFS indexes:
  • In Everything, from the Tools menu, click Options.
  • Click the Folders tab.
  • Select the folder index that is showing up twice in the results.
  • Click Remove.
  • Click OK.

I may as well post this question/suggestion here as anywhere:

Is there any way to return only unique values for a search? For example, a child: search for folders will often include duplicates.

Though, I suppose putting the results in a good text editor and using this regex to remove duplicate, consecutive lines is good enough:

^(.*)(\r?\n\1)+$

Replace with:
\1

By the way, an exceedingly useful search is:

child: regex:[^\x00-\x7f]

which will find folders with non-ascii characters in child files.

Sounds like you still have duplicated volumes in your index as they should only appear once.
Please try removing all folder indexes:
  • In Everything, from the Tools menu, click Options.
  • Click the Folders tab.
  • For each folder:
    • Click Remove.
  • Click OK.

Thank you so much for this expression. I have bookmarked it with the name polar: - so when i use the search: polar:825
it finds the folder 825

This program is SO awesome!
