Default to last used search on window open

Post by Amid5064 »

Hi,

I usually keep Everything open all the time, minimsed to the system tray. My workflow is typically:

- Open the Everything window by clicking the tray icon
- Enter a search value
- Close the Everything window

Each time I open the window the previously active search value and corresponding results are gone. I would like the search value and results to persist across window closing and opening. Is this possible?

To keep the search value between closing and reopening the window:
  • In Everything, from the Tools menu, click Options.
  • Click the Home tab on the left.
  • Change Search to: (Use last value)
  • Click OK.
