Context search does not work anymore?

Post by Biff »

It seems as if these searches do not (properly) work anymore, they do not find the content "instantly" anymore but seem to search the files:

Code: Select all

/replace-sel #nbsp:content:"< > < > ext:*

/replace-sel #nbsp:content:"< >

/replace-sel #nbsp:content:"

/replace-sel #nbsp:.eml content:"
Is there anything to get them work like they did before?

/replace-sel still works.

Does a simple
content:"abc"
search work?

Have you changed your content indexing rules under Tools -> Options -> Content?

Ah, thank you, si:, sorry, totally forgotten. And I should have mentioned Win index at the beginning at all, sorry.

Can one change the icon for more than one item here at once?

The Everything UI can only set one icon at a time.

To manually set multiple icons:
Set one icon in Everything to use a reference.
Exit Everything (File -> Exit)
Open your %APPDATA%\Everything\Bookmarks.csv in Excel (or Notepad)
(Bookmarks-1.5a.csv for the alpha version)
Copy the set Icon cell to other icons cells.
Save changes and restart Everything.

Sorry, how could I identify the set icon? It looks a bit messy in Notepad.

Icon is the last field.

Do a search in notepad for
.ico
or
.dll

Example:

Code: Select all

Name,Type,Folder,Case,Whole Word,Path,Diacritic,Prefix,Suffix,Ignore Punctuation,Ignore Whitespace,Regex,Search,Filter,Columns,Sort,Descending,View,Index,File List,Host,Link Type,Macro,Key,Icon
"My Name 1",0,"",,,0,,,,,,,"My Search 1",,"","",0,,0,,,0,,,"%SystemRoot%\system32\SHELL32.dll,27"
"My Name 2",0,"",,,0,,,,,,,"My Search 2",,"","",0,,0,,,0,,,""
"My Name 3",0,"",,,0,,,,,,,"My Search 3",,"","",0,,0,,,0,,,""
Change to:

Code: Select all

Name,Type,Folder,Case,Whole Word,Path,Diacritic,Prefix,Suffix,Ignore Punctuation,Ignore Whitespace,Regex,Search,Filter,Columns,Sort,Descending,View,Index,File List,Host,Link Type,Macro,Key,Icon
"My Name 1",0,"",,,0,,,,,,,"My Search 1",,"","",0,,0,,,0,,,"%SystemRoot%\system32\SHELL32.dll,27"
"My Name 2",0,"",,,0,,,,,,,"My Search 2",,"","",0,,0,,,0,,,"%SystemRoot%\system32\SHELL32.dll,27"
"My Name 3",0,"",,,0,,,,,,,"My Search 3",,"","",0,,0,,,0,,,"%SystemRoot%\system32\SHELL32.dll,27"
(Set the last two bookmark icons to %SystemRoot%\system32\SHELL32.dll,27 )

Ah, OK, that's like it looks here:

So SHELL32.dll is an icon obviously.

OK, thank you very much!
