Been working really great for 5 years but.......

I really love the Everything app. It's such a champ for finding anything everywhere on my laptop.................until today that is : (
All of a sudden, it's hardly finding any files at all and, until today, it's been doing it for 5 years with no problem but, files that are absolutely, positively on my hard drive are now not being found.

Have tried the force "Force Rebuild" to no avail, so I would sure appreciate any helpful suggestions to rectify this.
Thanks a lot in advance.

I am sorry to hear Everything is not finding your files.



Please make sure no search options are checked under the Search menu (eg: uncheck match case, uncheck match whole words, uncheck regex)

Please make sure the Everything filter is active under the Search menu.

Please make sure these files are not excluded from Tools -> Options -> Exclude.



Please make sure Everything is installed correctly and running as a standard user:

• In Everything, from the Tools menu, click Options.
• Click the General tab on the left.
• Check Store settings and data in %APPDATA%\Everything.
• Uncheck Run as administrator.
• Check Everything Service. (Please make sure this is tick-checked and not square-checked)
• Click OK.
• Exit Everything (right click the Everything tray icon and click Exit).
• Restart Everything.

Please make sure your drives are included in your index:

• In Everything, from the Tools menu, click Options.
• Click the NTFS tab on the left.
• For each NTFS volume:
  • Check Include in database.
• Click OK.

If you made any changes above, please try forcing a rebuild again:

• In Everything, from the Tools menu, click Options.
• Click the Indexes tab on the left.
• Click Force Rebuild.
• Click OK.

Please check your drive for errors:

• Please backup anything important on your drive before checking it for errors.
• In Windows Explorer, right click your drive and click Properties.
• Click the Tools tab.
• Click Check now...
• Click Start
• If prompted to schedule a scan on the next restart, click Yes.

Please let me know if the issue persists.

I just had to add that it is a HUGE relief to know that Everything is working once more as it always has been.
Now, I can go to bed and sleep like a baby : )
