content: search performance improvement

Post by gautxori »

hi, let me explain with an example:
- I enter the expression

Code: Select all

“C:\path to my files\” *.xls* content:cover
in the search box and wait for the search to be performed
- Now I want to add an additional restriction,

Code: Select all

“C:\path to my files\” *.xls* content:cover path:“whatever”
and even though “content:cover” hasn't changed, Everything processes all the files again, consulting and filtering by their content.
- And I add another restriction,

Code: Select all

“C:\path to my files\” *.xls* content:cover path:“whatever” !name:template
once again, even though “content:cover” has not changed, Everything processes all the files again, consulting and filtering by their content,

Would it be possible to improve the search system so that the search process shown in the example is faster and more efficient?
Perhaps by reviewing the “priority” criterion of the “content:” command at runtime, so that when the search expression of that command does not change, and the Everything search box is modified, the priority of that command is set to maximum, and that command is not reexecuted?
