Code: Select all

dupe: "D:\folder\folder\..."

dupe: in Everything 1.4 is rather limited.

dupe: in Everything 1.4 will find duplicated items in your entire index, not the current results.

It works best when used on its own, without other search parameters.

For example, use sizedupe: and sort by size descending.



Everything 1.5 will have support for finding duplicates in your results.

dupe:name will only work in Everything 1.5.
