:: allowing %* makes things more "dangerous"
:: %* terms are AND'd, you could OR, but that would be really really awkward, ugly (cause you'd need grouping & ESCaping)
:: depending on where this %2... are in relation to -s*, a search may or may not work...
:: chkdupe.bat regex:us{3,}
:: -s* %2 %3 %4 dupe:size;sha1 - does nothing
:: -s* dupe:size;sha1 %2 %3 %4 - WORKS
:: nope! that was NOT it, the regex: needed QUOTES regex:"{3,}"
:: (or was it, "regex:(3,)" might work, depending on location of %2... ?
:: nonetheless, might be some other gotchas, like dupe-min:9 & /which/, :9 on the searchbar you change to change it to some other # ?

@echo Searching for Everything, but no filtering entered - toobroad, try again.

@echo 0 duplicate size items, nothing more to do. bye.

set your location to Everything.exe, as appropriate (& in "quotes", if needed)
set your -instance <name>, as appropriate (like 1.5a, for most)
