[RESOLVED] Syntax dc:

Post by Supercoucou »

Can you tell me what is my mistake?
I get without problem via dm:2020 all the files modified in 2022 but when I do dc:track the year, I never get anything for example via dc:2022 gives nothing!
Thanks in advance ..

dc (date created) is default not indexed by Everything. So Everything will have to inspect every file/folder manually to see if it is indeed created in 2022. That can take a while .. ("Querying ..." will be shown in the status bar)

To speed this up, index date created too and your dc:2022 search query will return all results instantly:
  • Go to Menu:Tools > Options > Indexes
  • Enable Index date created
  • Enable Fast date created sort
  • Press the OK button.
    Everything will re-scan your files and folders ("Scanning" in the status bar). Wait until this is done.
  • Type dc:2022 in the status bar
Don't forget to show the Date Created column:
  • Right-click the result-list header
  • Select Date Created
  • Done.

Somehow I doubt that ;) (but of course I do understand what you meant :D)

Your feedback is enough (thanks for doing so!).
We currently have no other way to mark topics as solved.
