Advanced Search

Everything Advanced Search

The Everything advanced search can help you define a more complex search.

To show the advanced search dialog:

In "Everything", from the Search menu, click Advanced Search.

Requires Everything 1.4
Filters

Filters are predefined searches. Only one filter can be active at a time. Filters can be toggled from the Search menu.

To create a new filter from the current search:

In Everything, from the Search menu, click Add to filters....
Type in a Name.
Click OK.

To edit an existing filter:

In Everything, from the Search menu, click Organize filters....
Select a filter.
Click Edit.

Content Searching

Warning: content searching is extremely slow.

File content is not indexed.

Please combine content: functions with other filters for the best performance.

Content search functions:

content: - Search file content using the associated iFilter. If no iFilter exists UTF-8 content is used.

ansicontent: - File contents are treated as ANSI text.

utf8content: - File contents are treated as UTF-8 text.

utf16content: - File contents are treated as UTF-16 (Unicode) text.

utf16becontent: - File contents are treated as UTF-16 (Big Endian) text.

Example, find emails, modified this week, containing the text “keyboard”:

*.eml dm:thisweek content:keyboard

Note: content: is used last in the search above, this means Everything will only search the content of files that matched the previous search (*.eml dm:thisweek)
Note: the content: function requires Everything 1.4 or later.
Bookmarks

Bookmarks can save the current search, filter, sort and index.

To create a new bookmark from the current search:

In Everything, from the Bookmarks menu, click Add to bookmarks....
Type in a Name.
Click OK.

To organize bookmarks:

In Everything, from the Bookmarks menu, click Organize bookmarks....

Macros

Custom macros can be defined by filters and bookmarks.

To create a custom filter macro:

Create a new filter or edit an existing one.
Type in a macro name, for example:

foo

Click OK.
Click OK.
Searching for foo: will now be replaced by the filter's search.

Regex

Regex overrides the search syntax. Search operators, wildcards, macros, modifiers and functions do not work in regex mode.

Regex must be enabled from the Search menu or prefix the search with

regex:

a|b Matches a or b
gr(a|e)y Matches gray or grey
. Matches any single character
[abc] Matches a single character a, b or c
[^abc] Matches any single character except a, b or c
