Search results scrambled

[jalaraguin]

Hi:

First, thank you for your great app. It should be embedded with Windows as the default search!

I've been using your tool for a while and what happens is that, sometimes, randomly, the searches start to return scrambled results, like this (https://imgur.com/a/jLpecjG):



It works correctly, since it finds the correct files, and can open them, open the containing folders, etc..., but the results are note very useful though, obviously. I reindex all the files again to reconstruct the indexes, exit Everything and run it again and it works as expected again. Bu t I don't know why this happens

Does someone have any clue about why this could be happening? Thanks.

Thank you for your feedback.

What an odd issue, I have never seen this one before.

It looks like a font rendering issue.
I wonder if changing the font will help?

Is the system low on available GDI objects?
Could you please check the GDI objects for each process in Task Manager.
Each process should only use 1-1000.
If you see any using over 2000 you may have an issue.

Thanks for your response!

I've checked the GDI objects with Procexp by SysInternals and the only process using more than 2,000 (2,004 to be precise) is procexp64.exe itself. My Explorer.exe is close (1,904).

On the other hand I was using the "Cascadia Code" font to show the results, not the default font. I'll wait for the problem to happen again and change it to see if it helps.

I already regenerated the index, so the results were showing correctly now, but I'll pay attention and the next time it happens (maybe in a few days) I'll let you know if any of this helps.

Thanks a lot again!

What is the name of the GDI column or tab you're looking at in Process Explorer? My "Performance -> Handles -> GDI Handles" are only 225 in Everything 1.5

In Process Explorer:
Right-click the header => Select Columns => Process Memory Tab : enable GDI Objects.

In Task Manager:
Right-click the header => Select Columns : enable GDI Objects.

(92 here, btw)

Hi:

I've added the GDI Objects colum to the listing so that I can check all of them at once just scrolling, like this:

Sorry for the low resolution.

It looks like the number of GDI objects is zero in your screencapture?
This is likely the Everything.exe process of the Everything Service. If you hover the mouse above this process, I expect the command-line to be ending in " -svc"

There should be another everything.exe process in the list. That one 'uses' more memory ("Private bytes") and more GDI objects
