remove duplicates by default

[guyp]

hi

anyway to configure Everything to remove duplicate files (according to file name) from search results by default?
without having to specify any filter in the search box

thanks

Everything is designed to list all search results.
Are you using seeing files with the exact same path?



A distinct: search function is in development.

distinct: requires sorting by name in your case.
distinct: will also reduce the search performance of Everything.

Please consider adding distinct: sort:name to your Everything filter:

• In Everything, from the Search menu, click Organize filters....
• Select Everything and click Edit....
• Change the Search to:
  distinct: sort:name
• Click OK.
• Click OK.

(Now, with the Everything filter active, Everything will only show distinct names / removes duplicate names)



Or, please consider adding a new filter:

• In Everything, from the Search menu, click Add to filters....
• Change the Name to:
  Distinct Name
• Change the Search to:
  distinct: sort:name
• Click OK.

Filters can be activated from the Search menu, Filter bar (View -> Filters), right clicking the status bar, filter macro or filter keyboard shortcut.
