After removing the ) from the foldernames, try this shorter code:

Yes, that seems to work, without indexing, just a little, for one minute or so, thank you very much!

But as the code written by void already works, this should be no problem after all.
Yes, indeed, not working code is not ...

Biff

Ah, some more examples, great, many thanks! Very useful!

Biff

That's great, very useful, thank you very much!

This also seems to be a confirmation of my examples, I suspect.

But, very sorry, I still do not understand how to do that, obviously I somehow misses the answer (where can I find it in your last post?): E.g. I am searching for files containing all of ...

Biff

Ah, sorry for my bad expression and many thanks for the link. Yes, I have Word Wrap on.

I meant: Is there a way to insert line breaks or something else in that field in Everything between, for example, groups of folder / paths to always keep them so that the code got clearer (I copy that code to a ...

Biff

Thank you very much!

So this in the search field
content:<92347234 ksdfkjjsdfklj weriouwer >
finds txts / files with this content
92347234 ksdfkjjsdfklj weriouwer

It does not find files with this content:
92347234 ksdfkjjsdfklj
And with this:
92347234

So this in the search field
content ...

Biff

BTW: This will trigger a re-indexing of the content of those 2 folders. Can't tell if drive I: is local or offline or ..
Yes, that's not that much files to be re-indexed (if only these 2 folders are indexed) in that folders of the alyways online drive, thank you.

regex:^I:\\Eigene Dateien\\Not ...

Biff

Many thanks!

Can content and a normal file search be performed together in one operation with the same search terms for both the content and file search? So one would add the same search terms once and they would be searched in the file name and the content (it then would find files that contain ...

Biff

Ah yes, they have indeed, so they are really named like that at the moment. But it is a mistake I made, I will correct it later.

Biff

Can content (showing files that contain all words in the search field / default Google search) and a normal file search be performed together in one operation?

Biff

Thank you very much!

Just the added files will be indexed.
Sorry, what I meant was:

This is added to the field "Include only files" now:

I:\Downloads\**.html;I:\Downloads\**.htm;I:\Downloads\**.mhtml

When I remove that line above and replace it with:

regex:^I:\\Downloads\\.*\.(html|htm|mhtml ...

Biff

Ah, super!

Biff

How could I do a content search (content:) that searches like Google obviously does by default, finding files containing every phrase / word of more than one phrase / word searched for? For example only files shall be found / shown that contain EACH of these (e.g. files that only have two of them ...

Biff

Can I use this code:
I:\\Downloads\\**.{html,htm,mhtml}

instead of this one

I:\Downloads\**.html;I:\Downloads\**.htm;I:\Downloads\**.mhtml

here:

Would exchaning the codes cause a new indexing?

Biff

Ah, super, thank you very, very much!

Biff

(search for content containing m: AND ein)

Yes, that works.

If you would like to search the visible text only, please try removing htm and html from your built-in list of text/plain extensions as mentioned above.

OK.

Thank you very much!

Biff

E.g. an html file: it obviously does not find a string of signs / characters including the ":", e.g.: "m: Ein"

-If it's html/htm, the colon could be encoded as
&colon;

So it is not found not encoded?

Biff

It seem as if special signs / characters are not found in the content of files, e.g. ":", a colon.

Ccould Everything find also these special signs, characters?

Biff

Thank you very much!

Biff

This might be from an old content index.
So Everything just keeps files in the index until (the new) indexing is finished although they are in a folder / in the bin in which they should not be indexed?

It's not needed unless you wanted to index html/htm content in other folders.
Ah, so that ...

Biff

Thank you very much!

It seems this code

*.doc;*.docx;*.pdf;*.txt;*.xls;*.xlsx;*.ods;*.odt;*.ott;*.scrivx;*.csv;*.ics;*.rtf;*.eml;regex:^I:\\Eigene Dateien\\Notepad - Ansammlungen txt-Dateien\\[^.]*$;I:\Eigene Dateien\Notepad - Ansammlungen txt-Dateien\**.html;I:\Eigene Dateien\Notepad ...

Biff

How would one have to adapt the code so that Everything also indexes html and htm files that are in this folder, I:\Eigene Dateien\Notepad - Ansammlungen txt-Dateien\, and in its subfolders and perhaps other subfolders?

*.doc;*.docx;*.pdf;*.txt;*.xls;*.xlsx;*.ods;*.odt;*.ott;*.scrivx;*.csv;*.ics ...

Biff

OK, thank you very much!

Biff

So the real action done by the user (mostly) is not the action shown in the journal. OK, a bit irritating maybe.

How could I show the seconds additionally to the date under the "Date" column in the journal?

Biff

Deleting a file, folder in the Index Journal
https://i.imgur.com/KSU6Q4P.png
is always shown under / as "File / Folder move"? Not as "File / Folder delete"? Or / and "File / Folder rename" (as deleted folders / files to the bin get another name in the bin)?

When I move this file ...

Biff

Thank you very much!

Biff

Thank you very much!

So it's like this now:

Biff

Menu "Help" > Check for Updates...
Yesyes, but that does not work here. Somehow an automatic update notification / signal or so would be good. Or better yet, an automatic updating.

but to be on the safe side I would still visit the Everything Forum often and keep an eye out for updates. ;)
So ...

Biff

Ah, no no, a little coercion can't hurt (If I had a program like that, I would force the users to do it too...and read 4 pages at least).
Ah, thank you!

OK, yes, I will wait. Thank you!

Biff

Oops, OK, so maybe that's the punishment for not being here often enough.

The update notification of Everything, the program, does not seem to work with me.

OK, many thanks for the link! Then I'd rather come by here more often.

Biff

Thank you for the screenshot.

Very sorry, I meant updates for Everything.

Biff

OK, thank you very much!

Is there a way to get notifications about updates?

Biff

Ah, yes, indeed, that is very useful.

For example: I have two folders containing music files, but also their related lyrics text files and album covers. When only interested in the music files, I can set the filter to Audio by selecting it from the list and serach for diff:"C:\folder1\";C:\folder2 ...

Biff

OK, I understand, thank you very much!

Biff

Ah, so that's what these macros are for obviously. OK, thank you.

Great, now it works:
https://i.imgur.com/2v4pPON.png

But how do I know what files are equal, unique, different? Files not shown are equal (by date AND size, not by date OR size?)? Files shown are unique or different? And files ...

Biff

Now this is shown:

https://i.imgur.com/PbhI5uA.png

So one sets a different filter than the one made to compare? Why is that? Whatfor is this filter:
Makro: diff | Search query: diff:"X:\first folder\";"Y:\second folder\" | Difference between 2 folders | https://www.voidtools.com/forum/viewtopic ...

Biff

Thank you very much!

Very sorry, I cannot find the mistake I make:

What is wrong?

Biff

Sorry, so what do I have to do now to compare the content of a folder of an online drive with an index in Everything or to compare to offline folders against each other?

Biff

Ah, okey, sorry for my confusion. Thank you.

Biff

OK, so everything without quotation marks, I guess (like in my example in the screenshot). Sorry, then what does that mean:

Use double quotes to escape any spaces.

Biff

In the search field?

So everything behind nop: does not have any effect. Does one have to use quotation marks behind nop:?

Biff

OK, many thanks!

Biff

OK, I understand, thank you very much!

By the way, is there a field suitable / an option (somewhere in the Bookmarks / Filters windows or else) to make some notices.

Biff

Use right-click -> Properties (Alt + Enter) to double check.
For online drives only?

descendantcount:0 will match empty folders in your index.
So escendantcount:0 or empty: entered in the search field show every really empty folder in the index and for online drives? There is no difference ...

Biff

Many thanks!

So when in the column "Descendant Count" the value is "0" the folder is ALWAYS absolutely empty?

So is this correct?

child-count;descendant-count;

!A: !B: !D: !E: !F: !G: !H: !K: !L: !M: !N: !O: !P: !Q: !R: !S: !T: !U: !V: !W: !X: !Y: !Z: column1:=size: columns:name;child-count ...

Biff

Is there a column showing the amount of items contained in a folder?

Biff

No, it does not. Thank you very much!

Strange, yesterday I seemed to see (actually I am convinced to do) on that page the version Everything-1.5.0.1367a.x64.zip (so the version released before my last version (Everything-1.5.0.1368a.x64.zip) I had yesterday). I guess, that actually cannot be ...

Biff

Suddenly this filter does not work anymore:

How could one make it work?

Biff

es, that looks fine.
That will search your eml files for the specified content.
OK, thank you.

Just use content: and ignore emlcontent:

content: uses the extension associated iFilter. (this will be the built-in eml iFilter for eml files by default)
emlcontent: ignores the extension and will ...

Biff

You will have to ask Microsoft why their eml iFilter modifies eml files.
OK, then I might as well ask them why they don't make a decent operating system.

ShellExView can be used to manage iFilters.
Many thanks for the link!

Please use the following to search the content of eml files:

*.eml ...

Biff

OK, I do not use any external filter or whatever with Everything.

The stock Windows eml handler will modify your eml files.
Oops, sounds dangerous, how? And why? I guess, it would not be good, if that happened.

Tools -> Options -> Advanced -> content_builtin_eml_handler
Please don't disable ...
