Everything can only process ES (IPC) queries one at a time.

Similarly,Everything_Query(FALSE) is processed?

You can make multiple asynchronous Everything_Query(FALSE) calls.
However, they will still only be processed one at a time.

I tried,but I got result in my reply window only once.

There are millions of results in my search. It may take ten seconds for me to query once. Is there a way to get this data in a shorter time?

The Everything SDK has only one search instance per process.
Multiple Everything_Query(FALSE) can not be called at the same time with the Everything SDK.

Please try sending multiple IPC requests manually.
This can be done with unique reply HWND or reply WM_COPYDATA ID.

This should be no way to shorten the time to get a lot of data, right?

Correct. Multiple IPC requests will not improve performance.
