User List Suggestion

Post by borbo117 »

i don’t speak English. Sorry for suggesting through a translator :|

The suggestion is to create your own list and use it in conjunction with 'Always show search suggestions' under 'Enable search history'.

In the same way as a bookmark, if you create a group called 'apple=apple|mango|berry' and search for 'mango', the results of 'apple, berry, mango' are output. After this you will see search suggestions

thank you

Thank you for your post borbo117,

I will consider an option to add to your search history from within the Everything user interface.
Thank you for your suggestion.

For now, please try the following:
  • Exit Everything (File -> Exit)
  • Open your Search History.csv in "%APPDATA%\Everything" with Excel.
  • Add your new search to the end of the list, set the search count to a high number and leave the last search date blank, for example:
    "apple|mango|berry",9999
Use Ctrl + Space to show search suggestions.

thanks for the kind explanation

I have one more question about the sort by.

For example, is there a way to sort based on '(123)' or '<def>' when searching for "[abc].*(123).*<def>" ?
