e.g.:
This works:
?:\Windows\Prefetch\*.pf;?:\Users\*\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Recent\*.lnk

This does not work:
%WinDir%\Prefetch\*.pf;%AppData%\Microsoft\Windows\Recent\*.lnk

BTW, another suggestion:
Also add the "Restore Defaults" button in each sub page of "Indexes".

etc

@raccoon

Do you mean "Enable" by "[x]"?
"Search as you type" is enabled (by default).

During the steps above, I used Enter key only on "bbb".
The final result:
"aaa" = 4
"bbb" = 2

etc

Well, I can reproduce it with default settings.
Please try these steps:

(Run Everything.exe in an empty folder, and enable the search history.)
Save a bookmark, e.g. "aaa".
Search with "bbb", press Enter key.
Trigger the bookmark.
Open the history. (The count for "aaa" is 2.)
Search with "bbb ...

etc

1.4.1.1015

Trigger a bookmark once.
Open "Organize Search History" and see its "Search Count" (=+2).

etc

In Rename window:
Paste a file list (all the files exist) into "Old Filenames" box. (By pasting I can use a sorted list, etc.)
Paste another list (the amount and all the names are valid) into "New Filenames" box.
But the OK button is grayed.

How to make such uses work?

etc

@void ,
Will you consider 1) ?
Thank you.

3)
If Esc is a shortcut key,
and when the Filter dropdown is open,
Esc should close the dropdown first.

4)
I hope a shortcut key for a bookmark will also have the scope setting (Global / Search Edit / Result List).

etc

etc

Though editing Bookmarks.csv will do:
"*",,,,,,,,,"",,"","",1,,27,

27 is the code for Esc key.

etc

Oh I forgot that a bookmark could "forget" anything.
And Home can "use last value" as well.

Thank you for reminding me.

(But currently bookmark UI does not accept Esc key for the keyboard shortcut.)

etc

Yes, I also use that command.
But it's for changing the whole view, including sort, filter, search options, ...

etc

1) Better word selection:
For example:
size:123456
size:123,456
Double click to select "123456" or "123,456".

2) A command to empty the search edit.

etc

Thanks but I don't mean the results.
The screenshot shows I'm editing in Search Edit with IME.

search_history_always_suggest_extend_toolbar is interesting, though not my style.

etc

/search_history_show_above = 0 or 1 doesn't help.

1.
It's annoying that the Search Edit dropdown (topmost?) blocks the IME candidate window.
Hope there'll be a solution.

2.
Hope keyboard shortcuts can work even when the Search Edit dropdown is open.

1.4.1.935

Options: Home: Sort: Path(Ascending).

It seems that when I launch Everything, and if it scans for a while, Home view will not be applied. (Instead, the view is sorted by Name.)
If it does not scan on launch, Home view is OK.

etc

Need a way to update a bookmark with the current view (e.g. an "Update" button in "Edit Bookmark" or "Organize Bookmarks" window).

etc

Another situation that should be considered:

Search for str1 and str2.
Delete the two items in the history.
Go back/forward.
The deleted ones are in the history again.

void wrote: Thu May 02, 2019 2:00 am Alt + Up Arrow and Alt + Down Arrow also allow you to move filters/bookmark items.

Thank you for telling me this.
Please add such info into the tooltip of the corresponding control (e.g. the list).

Is it possible to make a disabled control also show the tooltip (especially in Options)?

etc

In "Organize Filters/Bookmarks" windows, the &key for "Move Up" is U, but the one for "Move Down" is M.
I feel this is not good.

s1:
Since Del key can be used, the &key for "Delete" button is little needed.
So what about D for "Move Down", and L for "Delete" button? (Seen in some other apps ...

Type a new string in the Search Edit.
Then focus the Result List.
Now the string is in the history.

s1:
There should be at least one way to prevent the current string from being saved automatically.

Need a "Open in a New Window" button/command in "Organize Search History" window.

Remember the positions and sizes of the three help windows (Search Syntax, RegEx Syntax, Command Line Options).

In addition to "Auto Size All Columns (Ctrl+Plus[NumPad])", NirSoft tools have another command:

eg: Do you want to quickly get the second/millisecond information with a toggle? -I could add a keyboard shortcut to do this.

By the way, I think the "Toggle Window" hotkey should not exit Everything even if "Run in background" is disabled.
Please try the Show Window hotkey instead.

I mean:
When "Run in background" is disabled, pressing "Toggle Window" hotkey in an Everything window will close the window.

I know "/time_format=..." can be used. But it changes the search.
Please try Ctrl + N to open a new window and enter in the new /time_format.

Can I ask why you would change the time format so often?
Would having multiple columns for date ...

If last_options_page is "Keyboard", and when Options dialog is just open, (or after "Apply" is clicked,) the focus is in the first hotkey box, which blocks the accelerator keys, though Tab/Shift+Tab can be used.

I think the "Show commands containing:" box is most often used. How about moving the ...

7-Zip has 4 time formats in its View menu. We can switch the format conveniently. (Though next session the format will return to default.)

Please consider such a design.
And I hope even the 7-digit Ticks can be used (like in 7-Zip), since the saved time has that precision.

I know "/time_format ...

Issue 2 can also be reproduced this way:
Trigger bookmark A;
Trigger bookmark B;
Trigger bookmark C;
Then use Back command to go to the beginning (which is the string of bookmark A);
Now trigger bookmark D.

I think now the GoTo list should be:
D
A
B and C should have been cleared when D was ...

etc

Thank you all.
But sorry I forgot to add another important point:

I hope GoTo is not only for History.
History is only for strings.
GoTo should include the whole status of the view, like Bookmarks.
That's why I call it "GoTo" or "Back/Forward history".

Currently, for example, if you switch among ...

etc

I hope "Go To" can be a top menu in the menu bar.
Sub menu is so inconvenient.

Using Alt + Left/Right is a "blind" way. You have to trigger the Back/Forward history items on the way.

With the top menu I can browse and skip more quickly using the keyboard.

Hi,

How to exclude a string using Regex?
Will (?!str) and (?<!str) be supported (in the near future)?

How to reset the existing window (Filter, Sort, ...) to Home view in a command line when -nonewwindow is used?

Hope Word Boundary in regular expressions can be used:
\< Matches the start of a word.
\> Matches the end of a word.
\b Matches a word boundary (the start or end of a word).
\B Matches only when not at a word boundary.

Thank you!

Select at least 2 files in the result list;
Right click in the selection;
If the clicked file has no extension name, the menu would be very short (not a full menu).

Thank you, David.
Besides the modifier, will you add a basic toggle (command) for this? In the Search menu, like Case|whole Word|path|diacritics|regex.
And thus we can toggle it with a shortcut.
(All other search tools provide this as a basic option, which I think is a must-have.)

Currently we ...
