How to save a certain search and start on double click?

Post by pstein »

Assume I setup a certain search.

Now I want to save this search into a file mysearch123.job.
When I later double click on it then Everything should start the search with the previously saved settings automatically.

Is this possible?

Export does not work such way.

To create a shortcut to a search:
  • In Everything, from the Bookmarks menu, click Add Bookmark....
  • Give the bookmark a name.
  • Fill in the search.
  • Click OK.
  • Create a shortcut to Everything.exe
  • Use the -bookmark command line option to load your bookmark, the target should look something like:

    Code: Select all

    "C:\Program Files\Everything\Everything.exe" -bookmark "MyBookmarkName"
  • Where MyBookmarkName is the name you gave to the bookmark earlier.
