But what will happen now [with this option having been set up] when Everything will reach 100% of its allocated portion of RAM: it will freeze / break [like it was doing it my description of the reported issue symptoms] - or will it just work slower but it will be prevented from freezing [because it ...

Thy Grand Voidinesss

And am I correct to assume that the more items I will have in overall have throughout my volumes and the more of them will be pre-cached at

Tools > Options > Indexes > Properties

then the more of such minimum RAM value I should reserve within Everything?

Thy Grand Voidinesss

I have just changed it to

2222222222

Thy Grand Voidinesss

I will see how Everything will behave with the above settings

But is this

2147483647

value specific for someone who [like me currently] uses 64 GB of RAM? I mea: will I have to adjust it if I change my hardware in this regard?

Weeks ago I was suppose to publish such post [entitled "Automated re-scanning issues evolved into inability to use at all" ]:

Thank you for this detailed explanation

It seems that the optimal approach would be to add a Bookmark with such Custom field of Search

ext:ahk;bat;cmd;ps1;reg;txt;vbs binarycontent:"███"

And that is because it is expected for a user to forget about having to create / modify / save every new ...

Throughout my files / programs I use various block characters and other unusual signs. But for me, after many tests, I cam to a conclusion that this character [U+2588 as described at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Block_Elements] is the optimal one to be used for building separation lines and ...

Thy Grand Voidinesss

Both

but it does not work

Thy Grand Voidinesss

If I am not mistaken, the above shows every folder that has a pause sign anywhere in it, and not just at its very end

Thy Grand Voidinesss

Why is that?
Because having a space as the last character in a file name is perfectly valid.

I didn't ask if this is valid.
The question is what is the purpose having a space at the end.
