Search Prefix ed: Works Beautifully - Thanks!

[Rob Weinstein]

I just noticed this:

29.11.16 Added: Search function: Use prefix ed: instead of ev: for unfiltered Everything search in the location(s) given by "Search in" field. Also supports the "limit depth" option (32/64)

It works beautifully! Thanks.

Rob,

As an alternative: it is also possible to add Search this folder with Everything to the context menu. This way you can directly search without having to open the Find files dialog. The search is executed in Everything, though.

It involves a registry entry. Fill in your own Everything path, mind the double backslashes. Copy this code, paste it in a file called e.g. Everything Here.reg and double click it to activate.

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\shell\Search FOLDER with &Everything]
"Icon"="\"Drive:\\Path\\To\\Everything\\Everything.exe\""

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\shell\Search FOLDER with &Everything\Command]
@="\"Drive:\\Path\\To\\Everything\\Everything.exe\" -path \"%1\""

EricB,

Thanks for the tip. Before trying your solution, I opened the context menu and found that Everything already has an entry:

If I click on the Visio_test_everything folder, it gives me this result:

So I think I already have a similar solution, I just didn't think to look for it until you suggested it.

Thanks,
