Everything keeps previous searches

Post by tique »

Everything 1.5.1338 on Windows10. Although history option is empty the results of a search are incorrect. I try to explain myself with a test I made
I have a USB Removable Hard Disk (F) and a USB Pendrive (D)
I copied 3 files named "Smith Chart Basic 01,02,03" in the following path
First path D:\ Second path F:\Gruppi\Video M-Z

The test:
In insert only pendrive D in the USB socket and I search "Smith Chart Basic" Correct answer
Remove the pendrive (D) and insert the hard disk (F) and I search "Smith Chart Basic" again
a) Everything shows the files of the pendrive (D) which has been removed from the pc
b) Everything duplicate results of Hard Disk (F)

I enclose screenshot hoping to have explained

You likely have the setting Automatically remove offline volumes unchecked?
This setting can be found under menu:Tools => Options => Indexes => ...
... the next step will depend on the type of disk. Check under FAT/NTFS/ReFS if your drive is listed there.

Keeping Automatically remove offline volumes checked can be useful to also see the content of off-line drives?
(off-line drives are shown in a dimmed/greyed out font).
But that is personal preference.

b) Everything duplicate results of Hard Disk (F)
Everything shows these files in 2 diffrenet locations: F:\ and F:\Gruppi\Video M-Z. (see the Path column).
Check your disk if this is indeed the case.

There's some issues at the moment with Everything confusing volumes with the same drive letter.

I'm working on a fix.

For now, the best option might be to enable Automatically remove offline volumes as mentioned above.
