Just a little note of appreciation. While researching information to build my own application similar to yours I encountered Voidtools.
From a user's point of view, this app is amazing. From a programmer's pov when you understand the intricacies and can appreciate the fine crafting behind it, it's way beyond. I will continue building my own just out of hobby/passion, but this app goes far beyond what I needed.
This app is incredible
Re: This app is incredible
Thank you for your feedback Shira,
I am glad to hear you like Everything!

Delving deeper into this, I'm even more amazed by your app.
I managed to get somewhat close to Everything's speed in some areas, C volume with ~2 million records:
- around 2 seconds to read + parse MFT (~2GB across 9 clusters)
- 1.3 seconds to alpha sort
- 5.6 seconds to index for search (here's where I'm trying to optimize now)
- Instant search: <30ms under 3 characters (single word), <0ms past that
However..
Everything: 241 MB ram
Mine: 1GB
I've been trying a trigram approach but it's really costly in memory, I will explore other options.
Not a ~competition vs Everything, just a passion for coding and optimization.
