Cons

• Interface design is very minimal
  Content indexing is disabled by default, making full-text searches slow until enabled

These should have been under the pros category lol

"The database updates automatically in real time whenever files are created, renamed, moved, or deleted."
@Void Is this equivalent to "The database updates automatically in real time whenever files are changed in any way"?
Thanks, Chris

I Agree.

@Void Is this equivalent to "The database updates automatically in real time whenever files are changed in any way"?

Generally, yes.

There are cases where Everything doesn't update in realtime.
For example, setting date accessed and deleting a hard link.

For example, setting date accessed and deleting a hard link.

Thanks Void; I'm just curious here (about documentation)

I think that this means that Everything fails to track the two named aspects solely because that is a design point within Everything.

I know that the linked article was for general-purpose readers, but now believe that Everything could index/track every published aspect of a file. Obviously an aspect that MSoft decides NOT to publicize or specify cannot be indexed in reality.
Thanks again, Chris

I have made a Limitations of Everything topic

I think that this means that Everything fails to track the two named aspects solely because that is a design point within Everything.

It's a limitation with Everything and the USN Journal.
There's no notification when the date accessed changes and there's not enough information in the USN Journal or in your Everything index to remove deleted hardlinks.

Detection of date accessed changes might be added in a future version.
Detection of deleted hardlinks might be added in a future version, but will require file id indexing. (+8 bytes per file/folder)

I know that the linked article was for general-purpose readers, but now believe that Everything could index/track every published aspect of a file.

Generally, yes.
Everything will detect all created, renamed, moved, or deleted files.
