The search does not work or takes too long without progress.

"Updating the database" only shows it all the time.
I will add that I have installed a new version Everytjing and I have this problem.

Please try deleting your Everything.db:

• Kill the Everything process:
  • Press Ctrl + Shift + ESC
  • Click the Details (or Processes) tab
  • Select Everything and click End Process.
• In Windows Explorer, navigate to:
  %LOCALAPPDATA%\Everything
• Delete your Everything.db
• Restart Everything.

Everything:
30-40 minutes Updating + send question - It's too long ,
how to speed it up?

MasterSeeker is much faster

[Oliverh]

Do you have multiple hard drives or partitions?

Maybe one of them is the culprit, could it be a failing or weakened hard drive?

You can try your luck by excluding them manually one by one in the program options (tools > options > index > ntfs > list of the local ntfs volumes, click one > uncheck the boxes).

Just an idea

Oliverh - The problem is not in the disks, because they work perfectly with MasterSeeker, the super-speed of displaying millions of files has always been at the highest level. But the Everything performance problem has always been the same. You can eliminate this if you set up without an update, but then new files will not be displayed in Everhting, only all the time old files. So the problem is only in Everything. Every time after starting I have to wait half an hour, it's a big exaggeration.
Perhaps large file changes, such as deletion, prolong the updating of the file list on disks.

If Everything is taking too long to start:

• Terminate your Everything.exe process with the Task Manager.
• Open your %APPDATA%\Everything\Everything.ini and change the following line:
  monitor_pause=0
  to:
  monitor_pause=1
• Save changes and restart Everything.

Alternately, if you have Everything running, please try disabling the Everything monitors:

• In Everything, type in the following and press ENTER:
  /monitor_pause

To manually update your indexes:

• In Everything, type in the following and press ENTER:
  /reindex

If you prefer Everything to update in real-time, re-enable your monitors:

• In Everything, type in the following and press ENTER:
  /monitor_resume
