Sometimes a path to local file is presented in a form of ".../dir1/dir2/dir3/file.ext". It could be an output of some application ported from *nix; it could be a part of network path to a local file; and so on.
And when the "dir1/dir2/dir3/file.ext" is pasted into Everything's search line, it can not find this file/path, so every '/' has to be converted to '\' manually.
Could you add an automatic internal conversion (not visible to user) of all the '/' path separators to '\', thus allowing Everything to support any possible combination of "path\to\file", "path/to/file", "path\to/file" and "path/to\file" ?
Please support both '\' and '/' as path separator

Options | General -> Search: Allow Forward Slash Path Separator

You're too late!
Your suggestion is already implemented in Everything:
In Menu:Tools > Options > Search , enable Replace forward slashes with backward slashes
EDIT: @therube: crosspost! (and in this case: I am too late!)

Not only do two great minds think alike, they also do it at the same time!therube wrote:Options | General -> Search: Allow Forward Slash Path Separator
