I will consider an optional paste and search button next to the search bar.
Thank you for your suggestion.

Re: Paste&Search button near adress bar.
By default, if you paste (into Everything), it searches, no?
Or are you just saying to have a "Paste Button" as an alternative to the keyboard shortcut (or context-menu, Paste)?
(You can search highlighted text within a web browser with a bookmarklet.
Maybe you can use an autohotkey thingy to search anything highlighted or copied into the clipboard ?
So if you're in a word doc & highlighted something... hotkey, search!)

Re: Paste&Search button near adress bar.
i like this idea, in fact i've been seriously thinking about suggesting a new feature for Everything that goes in the same vein
See, i've been using Everything everyday for a few weeks while i'm trying to sort and organise my stuff, i mean a huge boatload of files (or is it buttload? lol) , that i've been collecting for the last 20-25 years or more, and i do like using the keyboard shortcuts just fine especially since i started back in the MS-DOS era, but lately i've been wanting an easier time to work with well... everything, and Everything, especially on my tablet.
So i wanted for a good long while to suggest:
Could we add a toolbar
Like Explorer's ribbon with the back and forward buttons, refresh, re-scan drive, and other often used functions. I know we can already choose to step back or forward in the history function with ALT+
, but this doesn't work well on tablets.
Plus it would look so great with a nice set of icons on a toolbar or ribbon. Like, rename, delete, open folder, properties, mediainfo on video files, preview button for pix, etc
And not so much usage of the right-click context menu, because on a tablet that can be frustrating when you have to wait those few seconds for the context menu... like a thousand times an hour
everyday, for weeks. (ok maybe i can just go to my laptop)
But, I'd love to just click a toolbar button instead. and do Everything on my tablet (hehe see what i did there?)
And It would be great for both mouse-users and super great for tablet users. A ribbon would really come in handy for those with big sausage fingers (not me i have normal size hands
).
Maybe even a Favorites menu, so we can search for often used words or phrases.
That really opens a lot of possibilities for fun interactions with Everything

Thanks for making it this far in my novel,
, I swear i only wanted to suggest the ribbon idea.
Stay safe and we'll get through this Pandemic 2020.
