From the GUI point of view:
It's displaying first all PDF files (very fast) and after that is doing comparison and displaying the final PDF list.
Is it possible to display only the final list without displaying first all PDF files?
(hide results when the search is empty = ON)

Everything has to search for all PDF files first, so that it can query these search results for the version file property. So there are 2 distinct passes.
Rather than hiding this information from you, it's showing you that work is ongoing and progress is happening. You can add the Version column if you want to see the magic happen in real time as the column gets filled.
atof (alpha to float) should not be necessary for the version property. have you seen alphanumeric text appear in pdf file versions? eg, "1.7a"
Everything will show all results first, then eventually remove results that fail the !atof:version:1.7 test.

I did this for content:
For example:
ext:pdf !content:abc123
will not show any results and eventually add results that pass the !content:abc123 test.
I will look into doing the same for property searching.
Thank you for the suggestion.
Everything 1.5.0.1339a will now show no results and add results as information is gathered in the background.
For example, searching for:
ext:pdf !atof:version:1.7
will initially show no results.
As Everything gathers version information from PDF files, and if the version is not 1.7, the PDF file will be added to your results.
(instead of initially adding all results, then removing them as information is gathered)
Everything 1.5.0.1340a will now show no results and add results as date created, date accessed and attribute information is gathered in the background.
