I would like to suggest a feature. (see attached proposed feature screenshot) That would be to add an “x” that—when clicked—would clear the search text box and reset everything for another search. Currently, if I have something in the text box, I have to go up and select all the existing search text and either hit backspace or the Del key before I start typing a new search term. Many modern applications today incorporate this “x” functionality. It makes it quick and easy to start a new search.
If I go up into the search box it will automatically higlight the current entry
and if I start typing it replaces the old content with my newly entered text.
So no need to delete anything before typing.
Often, I'll type some search text and nothing relevant appears in the results, so I'll want to change the search text. At that point, I have to select the whole line and either backspace, delete, or type over it. I just would like to see this be more in line with typical applications today (with the "X" to clear the line).

Thanks. I currently do most of your suggestions.
I just wanted to get this on the product backlog.
Thanks, again!
Yes, I did understand that (that's why the "For now .."). But both @horst.epp and I have no influence on that (@void is the developer of Everything).
We can only make suggestions to make your life a little easier with the current Everything.
FWIW: I think it is a good suggestion, especially for "mouse-minded" people.
Or
Tools=>Options=>General=>UI=>Select search on mouse click
This way when you click on the search field(when the search filed is not active)it will select all text which will be replaced when you start typing
Or
Triple clicking also selects all

Good one!
(although that didn't work on my system; had to click in the result list first and then on the search bar.
Simple clicking in the search bar was not enough (here)).

Well that's what I meant by "when the search filed is not active"
You can also enable the option below "Focus search on activate" and this along with the other option will auto select all and focus the search bar when you activate the everything window
I don't like that option because I sometimes accidentally delete by search query

And yet another one (the last one, I promise ) :
huh, forgot about Alt-D
I even had Ctrl-L defined once, as those two are the defaults to focus the address bar and select the content in browsers as well as in File Explorer. But never used it.
Now I really promise ...
But all this aside: I am posting because I'm wondering what tool you used for that torn paper effect. I like it a lot!
I know ShareX (screenshot tool) uses something similar, but that doesn't look even half as good ..
