Is there a difference between filelistpath: and Include-file-list: ?

[programmablesoda]

filelistpath:
Search for files and folders that belong to a file list with the specified file list path and filename.
Example:
filelist-path:"c:\filelists\my filelist.efu"

include-file-list:
Search for a list of files from disk with the specified filename.
Example:
include-file-list:"c:\my filelists\my filelist.efu"

Do they do the same thing?

[void]

filelistpath:

This function is for finding files that belong to a filelist that you have included in your Everything index under Tools -> Options -> Indexes -> File lists.

An example usage:
I have several filelists of offline DVDroms that I have included in my Everything index under Tools -> Options -> Indexes -> File Lists:
C:\Filelists\DVD-abc.efu
C:\Filelists\DVD-foo.efu
C:\Filelists\DVD-bar.efu

I wish to find files from the DVD-foo.efu file list and I can do that with the following search:
filelistpath:c:\Filelists\DVD-foo.efu

filelist:

This function takes an inline list of filenames.

Example:
filelist:notepad.exe;explorer.exe
filelist:c:\windows\notepad.exe;c:\windows\explorer.exe

The whole filename (or whole path and filename if you include a path separator) must match.

filelist1:

This is a file list slot search.
There are 10 slots available (0-9)

Hold down Ctrl and left click the filelist1: text to setup the list of filenames.

This may help when you need to specify thousands of filenames, which would be difficult to do with a filelist: search.

includefilelist:

This will load an EFU, CSV or TXT file list from disk from the specified filename.

Example:
includefilelist:"c:\filelists\myfilelist.txt"

The "c:\filelists\myfilelist.txt" file should look something like:

Code: Select all

notepad.exe
c:\windows\explorer.exe
