found a bug regarding regarding different external drives (fat/ntfs) having the same drive letter.
Hope to describe situation clear enough...:
- searched for keywords and got the result list mostly correct
- on one particular drive (letter I: in that case) the entry had been listed three times, visually exactly the same
- actually that file is correctly located on that drive, it's a ntfs drive
settings for ntfs and fat drives are:
- automatically include new fixed / removable volumes -> on
- automatically reomve offline volumes -> off
- monitor changes -> on
history of that drive letter:
- had been assigned as fixed letter for an internal drive about ~ 1 week ago
- till that point it had been assigned dynamically to newly attached drives
- Everything listed two drives (offline) on fat and two drives on NTFS (offline) in addition to that actual online drive on ntfs - with I: as letter
how I fixed that result list for me:
- removed two offline I:-drives on Everything-Options-Indexes-NTFS -> no change in result list
- removed two offline I:-drives on Everything-Options-Indexes-FAT -> 2 of 3 entries in result list has been removed, all is correct now
I assume, this behaviour could be reproduced if you scan an (external ?) FAT drive with a certain drive letter, power off that drive, and then scan a different drive with NTFS on the same letter. But not sure about that.
btw. I'm missing a "rescan now" button in "Indexes-NTFS", as it is in "Indexes-FAT"...
