Is Everything can be integrated in Windows Explorer?

[Stamimail]

Adding button might be by Classic Shell.
Default behaviour: Searching the current folder.

Anything here, Support Windows Search Connector ?

[Stamimail]

I'm not sure what you meant,
But what similiar is that "connectors" let you see the results coming from a WebPage in the Windows Explorer.
I want the same thing, but results (+search) from Everyhing app.
In other words,
I will not have to open new Everthing window for searching the folder, but I'll get Everyhing build in Windows Explorer window.

I don't have any immediate plans to integrate Everything into Windows Explorer.
Maybe this will be added in a future release.

I think it's MasterFind that has Windows Explorer integration, you might like to give that a try.

Sorry for not understanding this sentence. I would appreciate if you would explain this sentence in other words.

BTW, I'm not sure, but maybe by using QTTabBar it will be more simple to get the trick.

Contact developer (Contact Quizo) also might be helpful.

"MasterFind" would be the name of a (different) search program, though I'm not finding anything meaningful with that name.

[Stamimail]

therube, it is now understood. Thank you.

void, Why do I need MasterFind if we have the option to use the build-in Windows search?
The whole idea was to use Everything engine style and preferences.

I wish "any immediate plans" will come soon. My experience with Everything brings me back again and again to what we have talked about, "bars" and "check boxes" idea. I think it's a good idea.

[Stamimail]

I found it...
It was explained by doc file called: "My Design for Everything.doc"
File attached.

Toolbar features like the one you mentioned are still on my TODO list, I'm not sure I'll get to them before the next beta release.

You can create a customized registry entry that will add Search selected FOLDER with Everything to a folder's context menu. It also adds an icon to the context menu entry. Here are conditions you will need to take into account to get it working on your computer:

* On my computer (Windows 8.1), I run Everything from C:\Everything (change this path to match where Everything is on your computer)
* The context menu icon I use is here: C:\Everything\Everything.ico

The registry entry looks like this:

Code: Select all

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\shell\Search selected FOLDER with Everything]
"Icon"="\"C:\\Everything\\Everything.ico\""

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\shell\Search selected FOLDER with Everything\Command]
@="\"C:\\Everything\\Everything.exe\" -path \"%1\""

Copy the text above and save it as a file named Search selected FOLDER with Everything.reg Merge it into the Registry (double-click on the file to merge).

Now, when you right-click on a folder in the folder tree, Search selected FOLDER with Everything will appear on the context menu (including an icon). Clicking on the entry will open an Everything window with that folder's - and its sub-folders' - contents listed. Move the cursor to the end of the search bar, then you can then start typing your search terms to filter down to what you are looking for. In the following screenshot, I right-clicked on the C:\Windows\System32 folder, then told Everything to find all .DLL files in the folder (it will also find all .DLL files in that folder's sub-folders):



You can enable a context menu to search starting at the root of a disk drive using the following data:

Code: Select all

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Drive\shell\Search selected DRIVE with Everything]
"Icon"="C:\\Everything\\Everything.ico"

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Drive\shell\Search selected DRIVE with Everything\Command]
@="\"C:\\Everything\\Everything.exe\" -path \"%1\""

Thank you very much.
Currently I prefer to use a Classic Shell button (Toolbar Buttons) to do search folder.

Syntax:
"FullPathToExe" -filename "%1"

I too would like to see such buttons being implemented in Everything- as an optional way of filtering data and which columns are visible at a given moment

Sorry for necroposting, but is it possible to share the method by which everything search was added to the classic shell toolbar? I have been valiantly trying to make it work but to no success.
