[aisazaro]

Good afternoon: Please: Have Voidtools Everything for Android?

Not what you asked for, but ...

Did you know that you can access the files on your Android device from your regular Everything?

There is no official Android version of Everything by voidtools yet.

An Android version of Everything is on my TODO list.

This is just what I am looking for. Please, how can it be done??

To access your Everything index on your PC with your Android device:

• Start an Everything HTTP server on the PC (Tools -> Options -> HTTP Server -> Enable).
• Allow Everything through your Windows Firewall (If prompted, click allow, or):
  • From the Start menu, type in:
    firewall
  • Select Windows Firewall
  • Click Add a program or feature throught the Windows Firewall.
  • Click Changes settings.
  • Click Add another program.
  • Click Browse...
  • Select C:\Program Files\Everything\Everything.exe and click OK.
  • Click Add...
  • Ensure Home/Work/Public profiles are checked for Everything.
• With a web browser on your Android device, type in your PC name or IP for the address.

Notes: Your PC and your Android device will need to be on the same local network.

Everything is not available for Android yet.

An Android version is on my TODO list.

All of the above seems to be about searching your windows computer from an android device. I'm interested in the opposite - Everything scanning/searching the contents of my Android device, I can't find any way to do it. Suggestions?

Just found Fossify File Manager. Search results are instant in Recents and Storage tab. For some reason, it's very slow in Files tab.

Good thing is that it's open-source so any dev can contribute on github.

I would appreciate if someone would make it ignore accents and diacritics plus adjacent words.

Go to Menu => Tools => Options => Indexes => Folders and add your Android folder there.
- Your Android device needs to be connecetd and folder available (obviously).
- Do not run Everything as administrator

I have tried this prior to posting, and again just now. In Windows Explorer it shows the path as
"This PC\S24U\Internal storage"
But in Everything's folder browsing dialog, "S24U" does not appear in "This PC". Couldn't find it anywhere else, either.

You will need Everything 1.5 to index the virtual android folder.

[irajacobs]

Amazing. Keep up the great work void!

Hi.

I've followed the instructions to add my Android device to Everything, but all I see is "rescanning: [my folder address]" without any progress bar. It has been rescanning for more than 15 minutes without showing any new results on the screen.

Do I need to adjust any settings on my Android tablet?

Thanks for your help.

[Sonrisa]

Sorry. Forgot to mention that I am using Everything 1.5 Alpha.

In my opinion, you need to switch on USB debugging on the tablet.
Then connect the Android tablet to the PC via USB cable.

Indexing android devices in Everything is very slow.

Everything will index roughly 2000 items per minute.

Hover over the Rescanning text in the status bar to see the current folder being scanned.
Is this folder changing ?

[Sonrisa]

Hi.

Thanks Tuska and Void for your replies. I thought I had already activated USB debugging, but apparently that was not the case.

Once I enabled it, Everything is indexing the tablet, albeit slowly as you mentioned. The file names are changing as it indexes the tablet.

Thank you very much to both for your help.

I look forward to an Android version of Everything in the future.

Cheers.
