Show results as they are indexed

Post by hutchinsfairy »

I'm sorry if this has already been posted or discussed but I couldn't find anything.

I have just started to play with indexed folders in Everything and finding it very useful. My only niggle is that I seem to have to wait for the folder to be indexed before I can search for files in my existing local NTFS drives (e.g. C:).

It would be really useful to me if Everything would start returning results before all drives and folders were fully indexed.

This would also help where I have multiple local NTFS drives. I would like Everything to start returning results from my smaller C: drive before my much larger E: drive has been fully indexed.

Maybe I didn't understand what you mean but are using using Tools=>Options=>Indexes=>Folders=>add your drives

If you want to search your local drives you should use the Tools=>Options=>Indexes=>enable all of the options below "Settings for Local Disk"(Include USN Journal in recent &changes is only if you want it)for all of your drives.

This will make the result appear much faster and it will monitor for changes

Currently Everything must build the entire index before you can search it for performance reasons.

I have plans to improve adding and removing indexes without the need to rebuild the entire index.
