Could you please provide a little more information.

How are you opening a symbolic link in Everything?



Drag-dropping a folder junction to the search box, sets the search box to the junction path (not the target).

Everything doesn't index junctions on NTFS volumes.
Please add your folder junctions under Tools -> Options -> Folders.
