Is it possible to automate search by hash?

[santilli]

For instance, if I have a MD5 hash, which is always 32 characters long, instead of having to manually type

md5:

before inserting the hash, I was wondering if it's possible to use filters/macros aligned with regex, so that whenever I enter a 32-character long string (with no spaces, punctuation or extension) it will automatically perform a md5 search.

Is that doable as of today, using version 1390a?

Easiest way:

Adjust your pasted text format (I assume you are pasting the md5 value):

• In Everything 1.5, from the Tools menu, click Options.
• Click the Advanced tab on the left.
• To the right of Show settings containing, search for:
  paste
• Select: search_edit_paste_format
• Set the value to:
  <if:<regexmatch:$newtext:,"^[a-zA-Z0-9]{32}$">,"md5:"$newtext:,$newtext:>
• Click OK.

Now when you paste md5 values, they will be prefixed with md5:

search_edit_paste_format

Works precisely as what I needed and that was a very prompt answer wow
