Search Files by Tags

[Jakov93]

Hi,
I browsed this forum for about two hours on how to search tags by Everything
I reached to the following:
To search for tags, you must index the tag properties of the files, so I enabled indexing the tags from the settings ---> Indexes ---> Properties then I add Tags properties for indexing
The program start to index the tag properties, with time the speed of laptop's fan increases, the progress bar reach approximately to 50% and the Everything closes automatically,

I run it again but the same scenario recurs and so, with each run the fan speed increases too much although I have core i7 CPU, 16GB RAM.
I increased the priority for Everything from the task manager to high but also same scenario. Furthermore, I searched in this forum and I found this code

Code: Select all

/no_incur_seek_penalty_multithreaded=0

when I apply it, also the same scenario.
I thought may I have too much files (1TB) is the cause, So I limit the indexing to single folder with few certain files, now the indexing completed and the laptop works normally, but when I search for tags, nothing appears and status bar showing a progress for search properties,

with time the fan speed increases then the Everything close automatically, I have been shocked , Everything didn't take time for searching, it search and the results appear instantly.
I can wait until the indexing completed, but why the Everything didn't complete the indexing and closes automatically?
Any solution please?
Thanks

I have give up properties indexing on my typical HDD NAS server because I spent one week that index 10% and always freezing and crashing.

So if you are not using SSD disk, but local normal disk, you can try a bit.

If properties indexing a typical HDD hard disk on server, just give up.

Thank you for your help with finding the issue Jakov93,

This issue turned out to be a property handler blowing up the stack when passed a very long filename.

Enabling shell_max_path fixed the issue.

To enable shell_max_path:

• In Everything 1.5, from the Tools menu, click Options.
• Click the Advanced tab on the left.
• To the right of Show settings containing, search for:
  shell
• Select: shell_max_path
• Set the value to: true
• Click OK.

Should be default
