Searching for Audio Content

[brianhartgen]

Hi. Can someone please help?
Steps I am Taking:
1. Type syntax such as:
d:\music title:"baby".
2. Everything takes a while to scan files for words containing this title but I understand why that would be.
3. Results are displayed.
4. Without closing Everything, modify the search parameters to include a different title.
5. Results are displayed in a few seconds.
6. As soon as I close Everything or restart the computer, and go through the same routine, the lengthy time it takes to scan starts again.
It works beautifully for searching many titles provided I do not close the program down. Is there a way of keeping that scanned database and just using that for future searches?
Thank you.

I'll suppose it's simply caching.

If you had the same sets of files at both:

d:\music
and
x:\backups\music

And did

d:\music title:"baby" (slow)
and then
d:\music title:"you are mine" (fast)
followed by
x:\backups\music title:"baby"

I'd suspect that the latter search would then be "slow".

My thoughts exactly. That title information is not stored in the Everything database.
The good news: indexing metadata is under development. If and when that gets added, searching for title: will always be fast.
