How to index/search one time (!) in different partition? cmdline parameter?

Post by pstein »

In general I let Everything search for files and folders in my partition D:
I included this partition in the database in option Indexes/NTFS dialog of Everything.
It works fine.

However occasionally I want to search (only) in a different partition E:

I could now go to options and change the Indexes/NTFS parameters (disable D: and enable E:).
After performing of the search I have to manually rollback the options and revert back to my original default partition.
This is tedious and user unfriendly.

So I ask if it is possible to call (a second) instance of Everything with a different set of options. Here another partition included in database.
It should be possible to pass the partition as parameter on the cmdline similar to:

everything.exe /includedntfspartition:E:

This way I could create a shortcut and double click on it if necessary.
Is this somehow possible?

Otherwise could this option be added to the next release?

Thank you
Peter

Without changing anything you could simply preface your search with, E:.
Or set up a Filter, say, E_ONLY.

Then when you want E: only, choose the E_ONLY filter.
