Hi,

Yes, this feature is available, e.g. in Everything 1.5 Beta.
Everything 1.5b Beta - Upgrade Guide.

1. In the Everything 1.5 search box, type in the following:

#clipboard:

2. Select some text and press Ctrl+C to copy it to the clipboard.

Result:
Everything searches the clipboard and displays the results.

Note:
If you place two windows side by side (put Everything 1.5 in the background),
you can immediately see whether a result was found.

Please see also:
- Option to monitor clipboard !
- create a #clipboard: filter...

- clipboard: any detriments to its use?
