Small Addition...

Post by _pA89 »

+ Horizontal Filters option in addition of Drop-down Box (Like in Glary Utilities Quick Search).
+ Automatically Detect System Folders and Files and not display them - Windows installed on External Hard Disk.
+ Search sort by “score/intelligence”
Example:
When I Type:- Emp
I might be thinking of complete intelligent words(generally) – Empires or Empty or Empathy
But less Likely the middle of some name like -- Templates , temp, PreEmptive, jempbox, Temple
But Search Gives Equal Priority to both

A horizontal filter bar is on my TODO list for Everything 1.5
+ Automatically Detect System Folders and Files and not display them - Windows installed on External Hard Disk.
There is an option to exclude system files from Tools -> Options -> Exclude -> Exclude system files and folders.
However, folders like C:\Windows do not have the system attribute set.
What I would like to do in a future release is add common system folders (eg: c:\windows) to the exclude folder list when Exclude system files and folders is set.

If you still want to index system files, enable index attributes (from Tools -> Options -> Index) and set your Everything filter to exclude results with the SYSTEM attribute:
!attrib:s
Create another filter with the name: SYSTEM and set the search to: attrib:s
Now when you Everything filter is active, only non-system files are shown. When the SYSTEM filter is active, all system files are shown.
+ Search sort by “score/intelligence”
A relevant sort is on my TODO list.

Thanks for the suggestions.

What i wanted to convey was - if windows was installed on external Hard Disk say L:\ (Windows on GO?) then can everything intelligently recognize the offline installation of windows files when that hard disk is connected as storage device and exclude from search.

+ When Bit-locker Driver Drive is Unlocked everything search Index not automatically updating for that drive?

Everything would only detect the current windows installation folder C:\Windows
It would not be able to detect a copy of this folder, such as C:\Backup\Windows or a windows folder for another boot, eg: L:\Windows

I might be possible to look at the filenames inside L:\windows and determine if it is a windows folder, I'll consider such an option.
