Where does Everything stores the database?

Where does Everything stores the database?

Store Settings and data in %APPDATA%Everthing is ticked in options.
But %APPDATA%Everthing contains Everything.ini & Filters.csv
Database location in option is empty.
I also have searched C:\Program Files\Everything but I can't find the database there either.

Any kind of help is much appreciated.

In %LOCALAPPDATA%\Everything
(should expand to C:\Users\<your username>\AppData\Local\Everything)

This is to avoid storing the large database in a roaming profile.



You can customize your Everything database location from Tools -> Options -> Indexes -> Database location.

The database is stored in memory and is only saved to disk when you exit Everything.
