Re: Arg! Everything not finding files (same on multiple Pc's)

[guyr]

I found this post via Google search. I'm a happy (paid) Everything user for many years. I just noticed today Everything wasn't finding a file. In short, I tried some of the steps here, including debugging. I didn't see that any folders were being skipped. In the end, rebuilding the index was the only thing that fixed the problem.

After rebuildign, I noticed in the debugging window that Everything appears to be looping. Here is a cut and paste from the debug window of a portion that is repeated:

Code: Select all

DB_WAIT: _db_ready_proc waiting...
DB_WAIT: _db_ready_proc waited 0.000290 seconds
update m 1 4150736
update index D:
USN CREATE DBMT_util_001.4292
updated D: in 0.002591 seconds
resume ntfs monitor 1
processed usn records in 0.000886 seconds
DB_WAIT: _db_ready_proc waiting...
DB_WAIT: _db_ready_proc waited 0.000466 seconds
update m 1 4150736
update index D:
USN DATA_EXTEND cubrid_utility.log
USN DATA_EXTEND CLOSE cubrid_utility.log
USN DATA_EXTEND cubrid_utility.log
USN DATA_EXTEND CLOSE cubrid_utility.log
USN CREATE DATA_EXTEND DBMT_util_001.4292
USN CREATE DATA_EXTEND CLOSE DBMT_util_001.4292
USN DELETE CLOSE DBMT_util_001.4292
updated D: in 0.017134 seconds
resume ntfs monitor 1
processed usn records in 0.001615 seconds

The same set of files is listed over and over. Can I do anything about this?

Thanks.

[UPDATE] That's odd. After I posted this message, I closed the debug window. After starting up Everything again from the task bar, it is not finding the file again! I do most of my work using the command line version of Everything. I'm running 1.1.0.8. Perhaps I had both the debug version and the command line going a the same time. I just made sure I was using only the (non-debug) GUI version and rebuilt the index again. This time Everything continues to find the file I was looking for. So perhaps I had two versions going at once at they interfered.

If Everything is not finding files, please try the following:

Please make sure no search options are checked under the Search menu (eg: uncheck match case, uncheck match whole words, uncheck regex)

Please make sure the Everything filter is active under the Search menu.

Please make these files are not excluded from Tools -> Options -> Exclude.

Please try forcing a rebuild:

• In Everything, from the Tools menu, click Options.
• Click the Indexes tab on the left.
• Click Force Rebuild.
• Click OK.

After rebuildign, I noticed in the debugging window that Everything appears to be looping. Here is a cut and paste from the debug window of a portion that is repeated:

You will need to find the program(s) that are constantly opening, writing to and closing the cubrid_utility.log and DBMT_util_001.4292.
Cubrid SQL or Oracle possibly?

There might be thousands of changes. In which case it might be faster to build a fresh index in Everything:

• In Everything, type in the following and press ENTER:
  /debug
• Close the debug console to terminate Everything.
• Delete your %LOCALAPPDATA%\Everything\Everything.db
• Restart Everything.

This will force Everything to rebuild without updating the existing index first.

I do most of my work using the command line version of Everything. I'm running 1.1.0.8.

I use ES.exe *a lot* too. It might please you that in the meantime versuion 1.1.0.18 is available with quite a few useful improvements.


To get the most out of these improvements, update Everything to version 1.4.1.947 or later.
(Currently, the latest version is 1.4.1.965 )
