I have mounted WSL2 networking \\wsl.localhost\WSL2\ in Everything v1.5.
It doesn't detect changes instantly and only support full scan which I can guess it networking limitation and is understandable.
But a full scan of WSL2 takes 5-10 minutes (because of millions of files).
Is it possible to rescan the index for a single folder which I am currently working on?

Re: Rescan single network folder in Everything 1.5
ReadDirectoryChanges is not supported with WSL2 which Everything relies on to detect changes.
Enabling Tools -> Options -> Advanced -> monitor_allow_multiple_methods can help detect changes made locally.
monitor_allow_multiple_methods
Where \\wsl.localhost\WSL2\path\to\folder is the folder to rescan.
Subfolders are also rescanned.
/rescan

Yes, type in the following search and press ENTER:Is it possible to rescan the index for a single folder which I am currently working on?
