Everything File Search without full installation?

[PeterPanino]

I want to integrate Everything File search in my application, but some users might be overwhelmed with a full installation of Everything and its relatively complex configuration.

Is there a way to integrate an Everything File Search feature in my application (e.g. as a service and CLI commands for flexible searching) without forcing the user to install the full version of Everything?

There's no official way to do this.

You can launch the portable version in the background.

You will need to launch as administrator or install the Everything Service before running Everything.

Install the Everything Service from the command line (requires admin privileges)

Alternatively, launch Everything as a standard user with -choose-volumes
Modify the folders setting in your Everything.ini to specify which folders to index.
Launch Everything.exe as a standard user.
Indexing will be slow, but admin privileges will not be required.

Launch Everything without a GUI
Hide the tray icon

Exit Everything via IPC
Exit Everything via the command line
