Everything's Settings permits extra folders to be included in the search. I have several folders listed there.
However it is sometimes useful not to include certain folders in a search. After removing a folder, it can be slow work to find it again using "add..." to restore one that was removed.
I would like to suggest something like an an on/off toggle or checkbox to enable and disable a particular folder in this list.
It's just a suggestion that would be useful!
On/off toggle for folders in extra list in settings
Re: On/off toggle for folders in extra list in settings
This is what Omit Results is designed to do:
Toggling Omit Results does not rebuild your indexes.
I will consider check boxes for your folder indexes under Tools -> Options -> Folders.
Thank you for the suggestion.
- In Everything, from the Tools menu, click Options.
- Click the Folders tab on the left.
- Click Add....
- Select your extra folder (eg: E:) and click OK.
- Click OK.
- From the Index menu, check Enable Omit Results.
- From the Index menu, check Organize Result Omissions.
- Click Add folder....
- Select your extra folder (eg: E:) and click OK.
- Note the checkbox next to E:
- You can quickly toggle the omission of your E: drive (no rebuild is required)
- Click OK.
---Your extra folder (eg: E:) will now be omitted from your results---

@Void Thank you for the info.
I can not find "Enable Omit Results" nor "Organize Result Omissions".
My Everything shows "exclude" in the Indexes menu not "omit". This is on 1.5.0.1312a (x86).
Can you please advise.
