sizedupe: not showing any results

Post by SafetyCar »

I was seeing the new functions on the search syntax and saw the sizedupe one.

But when I tried it, it did nothing... 0 results.

Probably irrelevant fact: I see files searching "size:1 dupe:" so there are at least some dupes that should appear for sure.

In order for the sizedupe: function to work you need to:

Options | Indexes -> Index file size
and
Options | Indexes -> Fast size sort

You were right, thank you very much.

I didn't think the fast size sort was necessary since it was being really fast already :lol:

I'm not understanding why it shows dupes for things that I try to get out of the results like with "!\backups\ sizedupe:" It shows one of the pair :roll:

sizedupe: finds duplicates for the entire index, not just the results. the search term !\backups\ would be hiding some of these sizedupe: results.

For the best results, please combine sizedupe: with an ext: search, eg:

Code: Select all

sizedupe: ext:mp4
