Everything does most of what Gottem did, and better, too, but there are a few key differences that I kind of miss having that I figured I'd throw together as a list of suggestions. It's possible some of the things below are actually possible in Everything and I just don't know what I'm doing yet, so please let me know if that's the case!
Generalized Keyword Search
Gottem also had a few search operators such as name:, path:, extension:, etc. but I honestly hardly used them, since I made Gottem's default "keyword search" match file names, paths, tags, file types, and saved searches (saved searches are similar to filters or bookmarks in Everything). So by simply typing "wood sfx" I would get all of the files with "wood" in the name OR path from within my SFX folder. Or for another example, I had a saved search called "nintendo" where the search was "mario or: zelda or: animal crossing or: acnh or: acnl or: pikmin", so by simply typing "nintendo music" in the future, I can find any file in my music folder that either has one of those words in the file name or file path. It made the tool feel like a super smart search engine that could take a vague query and really show you ANYTHING that might be relevant. Some sort of option to allow the keyword search to match more than just file names would be super awesome, and the more configurable the better, in case people DO want it to match things like paths but maybe DON'T necessarily want it to match filters, or maybe they ONLY want it to match SPECIFIC filters.
Configurable Popularity Logic for File Types
Filters in Everything are pretty close to the configurable file types I had in Gottem, but two REALLY key differences made life a whole lot easier for me. First of all, file types had configurable logic for when exactly the "Popularity" of a file should be incremented (the same thing as Everything's Run Count). So for example, I want executables to increment when I actually run them, but NOT when I drag and drop them. I want sound effects to only increment when I drag and drop them into Premiere Pro, but NOT when I just open them to view them. I want AHK files to increment whether I'm running them OR dragging and dropping them to share with someone. And maybe I don't ever want text files to increment popularity at all... for some reason.
This allowed me to easily preview what sound effects on my computer sound like by running them without necessarily increasing their popularity in the file system, only ever having popularity increment if they actually got drag-dropped into Premiere. That specific use-case is actually exactly why I made Gottem in the first place, so it'd be super cool to see something like it come to Everything. Perhaps instead of a separate File Type system from Filters, the Run Count incrementing could just have some sort of configurable logic check to see if the file that was just run matches a query, and Run Count incrementing is based on that (so if files match "filter:audio", only increment Run Count if drag-dropped).
The second difference that made my configurable file types super convenient is actually something that I implemented in several parts of the program, and is worth talking about on its own.
Aliases all over the place
For file types, saved searches, and tags, you could set aliases, which also get checked when performing a generalized keyword search. So for example, the "images" file type by default had the aliases "pictures,pics,photos,imgs", and the "programs" file type had the aliases "apps,applications,software". So by just searching "crocodile pic" I can find all of my images of crocodiles, or just type "string app" to find the string_finder.py I made for finding a string within a folder of many json files. These configurable aliases in combination with my generalized keyword search worked really well to make searching for the exact file I needed as quick and simple as possible, without having to make sure I always have perfect search syntax. I was also planning to add the ability for arguments themselves to have aliases, so ext: would work just as well as extension:.
There are a few other things like a tagging system complete with a button to add all current search results to a particular tag, but honestly I hardly used the tagging feature, so don't really look at it as something I'd care to see in Everything. The three things above were by far the most important, and I'm really curious to hear your thoughts! Again, let me know if any of the above is actually already possible, in case any of this is a moot point. Thanks!
