Everything Server - Network index and folder share mapping.

Post by MMH »

Sorry for such a silly question but.

Using the everything server plugin on 1.5a(latest) on both machines, with an everything server and on the 2nd pc a network index. I see the server's folders and files, but in the results pane they are mapped as folder drives like K:\some\folder\on\server.

How can I show the results in the same way as if they were mapped network drives, such that when I double click it on the client it will be \\server\k$\some_folder.

My options now are either use ETP connect, but that hides my current content, or map other machine's partitions as network shares.

If I am not mistaken the everything server with network index it's faster/better? Or am I mistaken.

So is there a way to still use everything server/network index and still get results prepended with \\machinename\partition$\folder\path?

Please try adding a remapping on the server side or client side.

Server side:
In Everything, from the Tools menu, click Options.
Click the Everything Server tab on the left.
Select your user account.
Under Include only, click Add....
Change Path to: k:\some_folder
Change Remap to: \\machinename\share



Client side:
In Everything, from the Tools menu, click Options.
Click the Network Indexes tab on the left.
Select network index.
Under Include only, click Add....
Change Path to: k:\some_folder
Change Remap to: \\machinename\share
