Option to search only local files, not lists - not using bookmarks

Post by adamiks »

I have many filelists in everything
its very helpfull when im searching something on offlined drives
but most cases i want to search my local files

is there an options besides bookrmarks to make everything search always local
and include filelists only when i really need them

adding bookmarks everytime even with shortcut is bad for me:p because i have to do this almost every time

Please try running multiple instances of Everything:
http://www.voidtools.com/support/everyt ... _instances

Leave your default unnamed Everything instance to index only your local online volumes.
Create a named instance to index your offline file lists:
For example:
Everything.exe -instance "File lists"

Another method is to change your Everything filter:
  • In Everything, from the Search menu, click Organize Filters....
  • Select the Everything filter and click Edit.
  • Change the search to:
    !filelistfilename:.
  • Click OK.
  • Click New.
  • Set the Name to: File lists.
  • Set the Search to:
    filelistfilename:.
  • Click OK.
  • Click OK.
Now, when the Everything filter is active, only your local volumes are shown. When the file list filter is active, only your file lists are shown.
You may like to leave the Everything filter alone, and create a new filter to search only local online drives.
