in everything...options...view tab
......
-Maximum icon cache size-
and
-maximum file info cache size-
......
the default settings are 4096
i have changed the value to 0.........means no size limit.
the database size..everything.db..has become 1.5 Mb
question:
What are the advantages or disadvanges towards increasing the database size ?
Thanks !

Re: Database Size....Everything.db....
It is not possible to change the database size this way.
You can limit the database size by excluding certain folders (ie C:\windows)
Maximum icon cache size and maximum file info cache size refer to the maximum memory usage for caching icons and file information while "Everything" is running.
the default maximum of 4096 KB is enough to hold roughly 1 million icon indexes and file information (file size, dates etc) for roughly 131,072 files.
There is little to no advantages in change the maximum icon cache size or maximum file information cache size.

Re: Database Size....Everything.db....
Thanks for your answer David..!
The program is so Good.
and it is great to use.
it is just the best in its kind, someone can ever stumble over.
....
the total number of files on my machine exceeds the 131,072 level.
but the database is only 1415 KB
however everything is working at the fullest speed and there is not any flaw to mention.
what wonders me is:
when i delete the database
the program is rebuilding the database in a mere 3 seconds.
i guess it is done that fast by using the meta data of the partition .
after a restart it takes more time to scan the disks
i guess the time is longer because all the meta data are not yet in memory
