Multiple search queries at the same time

Post by Link »

For example:
c:\ ext:dmp \\& c:\ firefox ext:exe

Everything will perform all searches split up with \\& and display the combined results.


Off topic side note: The support page is useless for figuring out what macros are used for! :shock: :( Don't feel supported. Examples are always useful.

How opinions can differ ... In my opinion the help for Everything is very clear and complete. Actually: it's amongst the best Help texts I came across.

But there is always this forum for extra help :-) Among the 20.000+ members there certainly must be a couple that can help you out ...

Let's try:
You don't want to search for .dmp AND .exe files, but .dmp OR .exe files.
OR in Everyhing language is "|"
You have two queries: 1: c: ext:dmp and 2:c:\ firefox ext:exe.
You can group a query together in a set with <>.

Resulting query:

Code: Select all

<c: ext:dmp> | <c:\ firefox ext:exe >
There are other queries to get the same results, but I think this will get you going.
Good luck!
