Everything doesn't find .exe files or other special filetype

Post by Andre74 »

Hello!

Everything is a great, great tool. Really helpful, loving it.
Now here's my problem:
Everything doesnt find ".exe" files, or .jpg, .epub, .mov ...

Looks like those files havent been indexed yet. How can I change that?

Can anybody help? Thx in advance,
André

Please check all search options are unchecked from the Search menu.

Search Menu -> Uncheck Match Case.
Search Menu -> Uncheck Match Whole words.
Search Menu -> Uncheck Match Path.
Search Menu -> Uncheck Match Diacritics.
Search Menu -> Uncheck Regex.

Please make sure the Everything filter is selected from the Search menu.
Search Menu -> Check Everything.

Does Everything find any results?

Too blind to see the obvious ...
