Although I cannot very clearly and specifically explain exactly where the difference lies, I have indeed noticed obvious differences.
I installed qttabbar, which enables explorer to support multiple tabs and many other features. Generally, newly opened folders will appear as new tabs in an existing explorer window.
Previously, in the era of version 1.4, when I opened any directory from the search results page of Everything, it would open the directory in a new tab within an existing explorer window, as described above.
However, now, in version 1.5, it always opens the directory in a new window.
I don't know what specific changes (or improvements) there are in the implementation, but it's obviously different.
If possible, could the old version's method be used?
Thanks.

Re: The way to open explorer has changed
Thank you very much for your reply, especially for the information about os_allow_dll_exe_directory. Through it, I found another related, more detailed discussion on the forum (I'm really surprised how I couldn't find that post in my previous search).
I was previously using the portable version of v1.4, and just switched to the portable version of v1.5.
Why didn't this issue arise in v1.4?
That is to say, v1.5 indeed introduced some modifications, restricting certain behaviors that were allowed in v1.4, isn't it?

Re: The way to open explorer has changed
The latest versions of Everything 1.4 (1027+) have the same restrictions (and workarounds).
