What should be searched for?

Search

This is what Everything will search for when the filter is active.
The filter search is applied after your main search.

For example:
Filter search is:

*.mp3

main search box is:

foo

Everything will search for:

foo *.mp3

What kind of macros could be searched for?

Macro

This is your custom macro name to reference the filter from the main search box.
It can be anything you like.
Use a trailing : after your macro name to reference your filter from the main search box.
For example: set the macro to

foo

and use

foo:

to reference the filter
Empty means no macro.

For example:
If you set the Macro to:

mu

and the Search to:

ext:mp3;ogg;flac

mu: is replaced with ext:mp3;ogg;flac in your main search box.

This allows you to combine multiple filters.
For example:
audio:|video:
(audio OR video files)



Keyboard Shortcut

Pressing the assigned keyboard shortcut from anywhere in the main Everything search window will toggle the filter.
Leave empty for no keyboard shortcut.

Where is the created macro saved?

Your filter list is stored in:
