I have another idea about this problem:
Everything can report, that there is a folder with this attribute. e.g. You have directory structure:
c:\DirectoryToSearch\RealFolder\FileToFind.txt
c:\DirectoryToSearch\SymlinkedFolder\FileToFind.txt

And when you search FileToFind.txt, result can be ...

Thanks for the ideas! All these hints bypass saving database to the flash drive. But its ok for me to have database on flash drive. I just wanted to suggest/ask, if it would be too complicated to do the database incremental or something like this

I use Everything in portable mode from flash drive. When I want to leave and remove flash, I exit Everything, but exiting takes too long, because it is saving database, which has in my case 300MB. Is it really neccesary to save the database all the time when exiting Everything?
And even worse ...

This question is a bit offtopic for everything, but i recommend Logparser (https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/scr ... 19274.aspx). It has SQL-like access too.

Just one simple fix to the previous instructions. Use double backslashes:
ntfs_volume_paths="A:","C:","D:","F:","D:\\game\\intermediate"
ntfs_volume_roots="","","","","intermediate\\dummy"

Processing symlinks can be problematic. I understand it. But simply unpack given path to base (without symlinks) form should be easy. It will give you worse results e.g.:
after looking for files in c:\Symlink\ (= c:\Some\Strange\Path\PhysicalLocation\) will give you path starting with c:\Some ...

If you mean Tools/Options/Indexes/Folders, Add and enter the folder, which is symbolic link, than unfortunately this cant be done. The symbolic link folder is unpacked to its non-link form.

I have few folders, which are symbolic links to different folder on the same drive. Is it possible to somehow find files in this symbolic-linked folder please?
Thanks for advice.
