Do you have any search options checked under the main Search menu?

Are you excluding any items unders Tools -> Options -> Exclude?

To add a exFAT drive to your Everything index:

• In Everything, from the Tools menu, click Options.
• Click the Folders tab on the left.
• Click Add....
• Select your exFAT volume (For example: E: drive) and click OK.
• Click OK.

Please let me know if you have any troubles adding the drive or seeing the drive in Everything once added.

That's what we did,

We also try to change exFAT drive's name from G to Z, but it's the same result.
Everything finds the exFAT drive, but it only read a part of our elements.

Could this be related to the path length ? We have a lot of subfolders

[void]

Everything doesn't have a limit of path lengths.
There is a system limit of 32000 characters.



Please check your drive for errors:

• Please backup anything important on your drive before checking it for errors.
• In Windows Explorer, right click your drive and click Properties.
• Click the Tools tab.
• Click Check now...
• Click Start
• If prompted to schedule a scan on the next restart, click Yes.

Can you browse to one of the missing elements from a command prompt.

For example:

Start -> cmd

cd Z:\folder\path\that\is\missing\in\everything

Everything should see the same as cmd.



Please check the debug logs if Everything sees your missing elements:
Copy and paste the following into your Everything search box:
/debug
Press ENTER in your Everything search box.
This will show a debug console.
Copy and paste the following into your Everything search box:
/verbose
Press ENTER in your Everything search box.

Rescan your Z: drive

• In Everything, from the Tools menu, click Options.
• Click the Folders tab on the left.
• Select your Z: drive and click Rescan Now.
• Click OK.
• The current folders being scanned is shown in Green text in the debug console.

Do you see your missing folders being scanned?

To close the debug console:
Copy and paste the following into your Everything search box:
/debug
Press ENTER in your Everything search box.



Does the issue persist in Everything 1.5

[Axel.A]

We didn't tell you but this FAT Drive is linked to a SharePoint Website

We are using Cloud Drive Mapper to link the SharePoint Website to Windows, it's easier for us to navigate through Windows than a website

Maybe we should indicate something in Tools->Option->HTTP ?

Thanks a lot for your help

I have heard reports of virtual folder indexing working in Everything 1.5 with SharePoint drives.

Please let me know if you have any troubles indexing the drive with Everything 1.5.

Everything 1.5
Virtual folder indexing

[Axel.A]

I've download Everything 1.5

I've also followed this instruction :

"To add a virtual folder to your Everything index:
In Everything, from the Tools menu, click Options.
Click the Folders tab on the left.
Click Add....
Select your virtual folder and check OK.
Click OK."

But as our previous messages, we don't find all the files

I also tried to add network drives, but it's not workind and I can't remove them now

[void]

Thank you for your reply.

To remove the network drive from your index:

• In Everything, from the Tools menu, click Options.
• Click the Network drives tab on the left.
• Select your network drive and uncheck Include in database.
• Click OK.

Please send a debug log:

• In Everything 1.5, from the Tools menu, under the Debug submenu, click Start Debug Logging.
• Type in the following search and press ENTER:
  
  /reindex z:
  
  (where z: is your network drive)
• Wait for Everything to finish reindexing your z: drive. -Progress is shown in the statusbar.
• From the Tools menu, under the Debug submenu, click Stop Debug Logging.
  --This will open your %TEMP%\Everything Debug Log.txt in Notepad.
• Please upload this file in a bug report.
• In the bug report, please let me know the filename of a file that is missing from your Everything index.
