sort by random and count:n doesnt work togheter

[ftgp]

whenever I perform a serch, sort by random, then use like count:10 the app will always show me the same 10 results in a random order

Supposing I have a list of 26 files in a folder (A, B, C, D,..., X, Y, Z)

when I sort by random then count:10 the app will show me always A, B, C,...I, J in random order, instead of count from the whole 26 files

I think the correct is to return 10 random files from those 26

In Everything 1.5 which currently in development, selecting View -> Sort By -> Randomize while searching for count:10 will display 10 different items at random each time. If you assign a keyboard hotkey to the Randomize function, the key quickly cycles 10 different items with each press.

@void: Can we add the syntax randomize: to use in bookmarks especially?

Thanks for the bug report ftgp,

Currently, Everything is only returning 10 of the first name-sorted results when randomizing.

I am working on a fix.
There's a few other edges cases too, like mixing file and folder results.



Bookmarks can set the sort to randomize.

Everything 1.5.0.1310a adds the following search functions:

randomize:
shuffle:



count: should now return the correct results.
