Move last selected item to top when next time search the same thing

Post by paleneutron »

I mean if I search `vsc` and scroll down and finally choose `vscode`, can every thing display `vscode` one the top of the list if I search `vsc` again?

Please try sorting by Run Count:
  • In Everything, from the View menu, under the Sort by submenu, click Run Count.
Items with the highest run count are shown at the top of the result list.
Opening an item from the result list will increment the items run count by one.

-or-

Press Enter from the search box to select the most run result.


To manually set the run count:
  • Right click a result and click Set Run Count....

For example:
Select vscode, right click and click Set Run Count.
Set a high run count, eg: 1000
Now you can search for vsc and punch ENTER ENTER to quickly run vscode.

Possible..


To change the search suggestion sort order to last search date:
  • In Everything, type in the following search and press ENTER:
    /search_history_suggestion_sort=2
  • If successful, search_history_suggestion_sort=2 is shown in the status bar for a few seconds.
    (the default is /search_history_suggestion_sort=1)
    where:
    0 = sort by search text
    1 = sort by search count
    2 = sort by search date

search_history_suggestion_sort
