Total Commander

using a path with "\\something" in TC together with "everything" checked does not utilize everything, although the same path is configured in everything.

What exactly did you find out here?

Did you not get a search result in TC?
If so, what does the search query look like in TC? (Hardcopy recommended)

Can you find the file you are looking for directly in Everything?

You must have Everything configured to make Folder indexing on your network pathes.
Also for the search in TC use simple path or file names and TC will find the Everything entries for the network paths.

Everything is configured for the network path, see screenshot.
TC uses its own slow search instead of the everything search.

So your searches with Everything in TC should contain ev:s:\ somename

TC is querying Everything whether it indexes certain paths or not. Apparently it's not reporting that network drive.
