Everything (context-menu) - Search <column>

Post by therube »

Everything (context-menu) - Search <column>

/appends/ that search
ONTO the current search
rather then ONLY searching Search <column>

Maybe an option to only Search <column> & not filter based on the existing Search?

So if search is:
red blue
And size of red is:
123
Search (Size) 123
changes the search to:
size:123
rather then:
red blue size:123

I will consider a separate item to set the search.

Thank you for the suggestion.



For now, consider adding a Search Size in Everything context menu item:
  • From the Start menu, search for:
    regedit
  • Click Registry Editor....
  • Navigate to
    HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Classes\*\shell
  • Create a new key here called:
    Search Size in Everything
  • Navigate to
    HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Classes\*\shell\Search Size in Everything
  • Create a new key here called:
    Command
  • Navigate to
    HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Classes\*\shell\Search Size in Everything\Command
  • Set the (Default) value data to:

    Code: Select all

    "C:\Program Files\Everything\Everything.exe" -search size:[GETPROPERTY:"%1","size"] -no-new-window -no-new-tab
    
    where C:\Program Files\Everything\Everything.exe is your Everything.exe location.
