How: Subfolder with different update interval?

[byzod]

Say I have a online folder

\\MassiveDataCenter

which takes too long to update so I added it in the options, set to update the index once per week
Then the sub folder

\\MassiveDataCenter\AllProjectFiles

in it has lesser files and it's more important to track the changes so I added it and set to update every day
Then

\\MassiveDataCenter\AllProjectFiles\MyCurrentProjects

has way less files so I added it and track the changes every hour

If I search

9527.pdf

for

\\MassiveDataCenter\AllProjectFiles\MyCurrentProjects\9527.pdf

, there will be 3 duplicate lines of it in the result list.
Everything in

MyCurrentProjects

will be displayed 3 times, everything in

AllProjectFiles

will be displayed 2 times

My question is:
is there any way to remove those duplicate results from those sequentially included folders?
or what's the correct way to add non-independent folders with different index update time?

is there any way to remove those duplicate results from those sequentially included folders?

Not easily...



Please consider creating a quirky filter:

• From the Search menu, click Add to filters....
• Change the Name to: No dupes
  (can be anything you like)
• Change the Search to:
  
  <!fsi:0 | !\\MassiveDataCenter\AllProjectFiles\> <!fsi:1 | !\\MassiveDataCenter\AllProjectFiles\MyCurrentProjects\>
• You will need to find your fsi (file system index) value for your \\MassiveDataCenter index and \\MassiveDataCenter\AllProjectFiles index.
• Change fsi:0 to the matching index number for your \\MassiveDataCenter index.
• Change fsi:1 to the matching index number for your \\MassiveDataCenter\AllProjectFiles index.
  You can easily find the fsi value with the following searches:
  fsi:0 root:
  fsi:1 root:
  fsi:2 root:
  ...
  fsi values are also listed in Everything 1.5 under Tools -> Debug -> Statistics -> Volume Index -> Index Number
• Click OK.

Filters can be activated from the Search menu, Filter bar (View -> Filters), right clicking the status bar, filter macro or filter keyboard shortcut.
Keep the filter active.
The filter shouldn't slow down Everything.

fsi:



Please consider setting up an Everything Server.
Then on your workstation, instead of indexing \\MassiveDataCenter, index your Everything Server.
This process will remove any duplicates.



Another option is to perform a distinct search:

distinct-sort:full-path;date-modified distinct:full-path

(Find only the latest distinct full paths)
This will be slow and most likely not practical.

Thanks this is really helpful!
I'll try the fsi thing

about the server thing, it's not likely to do since I use everything personally and have no right to config the data server. If all users use everything to index files on that server in the future, the heavy I/O cost might persuade the manager to buy a site license
