I thought that having the service running, it would maintain a pseudo-realtime index of my local drive. However, whenever I open the Everything app, it pauses to scan. Am I doing something wrong? I didn't see anything in the help documents about the service regarding this. I turned off running the app on startup where it sits in the tray because I don't run it very often, and it was using 400-500MB of memory according to Task Manager.

Everything service runs, but search window still needs to scan?
Re: Everything service runs, but search window still needs to scan?
The Everything Service does not maintain your Everything index.
The Everything search client maintains your Everything index.
The Everything Service simply allows the Everything search client to index and monitor your NTFS volumes.
How many files is Everything indexing? (shown in the status bar when the search is empty)
You should see about 100MB per 1 million files.
Excluding Files
-no-db command line option to always build a fresh index (instead of trying to update the existing one -which would take a long time if you don't run Everything often)
