I discovered Everything quite recently and immediately fell in love with the program, it's allowing great improvements in productivity and, more basically, in computer usage comfort. Damn, does it matter!
Last time I allowed a program to index in real time everything on my computer, windows search included, it was Copernic Desktop Search and I was using windows 2K, it takes me back, now with Windows 10, huhu.
Curious, I wondered how big the index had to be to allow this flawless instant searching that could be refined however much we wanted, so I tried to find the index file created by Everything.
And it's here I found something odd: I am unable to find that Everything.db index file?!?
- https://www.voidtools.com/support/everything/indexes/
I can't find Everything.db in the current installation directory, C:\Program Files\Everything , where the executable is located
- No .db either in C:\Users\(my username)\AppData\Roaming\Everything , however the Everything.ini in that location also contained "db_location=C:\Program Files\Everything" - and yet, no, no .db in there as already checked
- I checked the program's options naturally, Tools > Options > Index, it also says it's in C:\Program Files\Everything
However, in C:\Program Files\Everything, there is only Changes.txt, Everything.exe, Everything.ini, Everything.lng, License.txt and Uninstall.exe
- At that point, I told myself I might have missed the obvious, maybe for some reason the .db index file is marked as a system file, so I used another utility that would disregard the hiding of system files, Total Commander. I used TC to search all local drives for Everything.db - and guess what, not a single result

And yet here we are, the the program miraculously working flawlessly even though there is no index in sight

I might be misunderstanding something of course, otherwise, would you have an idea about this?
It's certainly no life or death issue, this is mere curiosity. Thanks if someone can help, otherwise no worries, have a fine year 2018
