Hi,
I’m facing an issue with Everything Search (Version 1.4.1.1029, x64).
When I start the program, the results load fine, by default, they’re sorted by Name (ascending).
However, the moment I change the sort order to anything else (like Path, Date Created, Size, etc.), the entire result list becomes blank. Nothing shows up until I restart Everything.
I’ve tried restarting the app and even rebuilding the index, but the problem persists.
Has anyone else faced this issue or found a fix?
Thanks!

Re: Changing sort option shows blank results (v1.4.1.1029 x64)
This can be caused by a corrupt sort array.
Please try a full reindex:
Please make sure no search options are checked under the Search menu (eg: uncheck match case, uncheck match whole words, uncheck regex)
Please make sure the Everything filter is active under the Search menu.
Please make sure Everything is installed correctly and running as a standard user:
For others, please try forcing a rebuild:
