Two questions about Everything

[AndreKR]

I'm just trying out Everything and I'd like to know two things:

- Is it possible to make content search the default so that I don't have to type "content:" every time?
- If I don't configure rescanning, it will never find new files? Everything cannot go through the file system on demand when I search? (I have a very limited number of folders that I want to search.)

- Is it possible to make content search the default so that I don't have to type "content:" every time?

No, Everything primarily searches filenames.



Everything 1.5 will have an option to create a filter to search filenames or content:

• In Everything, from the Search menu, click Add to filters....
• Change the Name to:
  Filename or Content
• Change the Search to:
  #replaceterms:#(:search:#):,#(:<#term:|content:#term:>#):
• Change the Macro to:
  fc<search>
• 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.

- If I don't configure rescanning, it will never find new files?

Everything will not find new files if "Attempt to monitor changes" is disabled.
You can choose to monitor changes and never rescan.
A rescan will pickup any files changes while Everything was not running.

Everything cannot go through the file system on demand when I search? (I have a very limited number of folders that I want to search.)

Everything always searches an index.
