Blank Search Window

Post by driz »

I've been using Everything Search for 2+ years. Love it. Donated! Recently, when I go to use it, there's nothing in the search window. I select "Everything" as my file type, but nothing is there. I just updated to 1.4.1, but no change. Blank window. What am I missing? (probably something dumb).

Here's something else. When I select "New Search Window" I do see one repeated file (same file over and over) but the scroll function / side cursor scroll bar gets wonky and stuck. I've attached a screen shot of the repeated file on the New Search Window, stuck scroll bar. Can't pull the scroll bar up or down.

Win 11 Pro.

Thank you for your support.

Looks like your index is corrupt.
Please try a fresh reindex:
  • In Everything, from the File menu, click Exit.
  • In Windows Explorer, type in the following address and press ENTER:
    %LOCALAPPDATA%\Everything
  • Delete your Everything.db
  • Restart Everything


Please make sure Everything is installed correctly and running as a standard user:
  • In Everything, from the Tools menu, click Options.
  • Click the General tab on the left.
  • Check Store settings and data in %APPDATA%\Everything.
  • Uncheck Run as administrator.
  • Check Everything Service. (Please make sure this is tick-checked and not square-checked)
  • Click OK.
  • Exit Everything (from the File menu, click Exit).
  • Restart Everything.
