According to this resource https://voidtools.com/support/everything/ini/, for size_format there are 4 values between 0 and 3 as follows:
0 = Best format depending on the size
1 = Always show sizes in bytes
2 = Always show sizes in KB
3 = Always show sizes in MB
Let's go to Tools > Options > General > View. For Size format dropdown there are only 3 values (Auto, Bytes, KB).
Why MB is missing?

(I'll just note that Everything 1.5 Alpha does also have MB.)
Re: Options: Missing MB value in Size format dropdown?
I forgot to mention that in my case Everything version it is 1.4.1.1022 (x64).
Re: Options: Missing MB value in Size format dropdown?
(Yes, I assumed that [but don't have 1.4 at hand... ?] so just checked with what I had.)
Re: Options: Missing MB value in Size format dropdown?
Sorry, I never added MB to the UI for Everything 1.4
Support for MB is still there, you just need to manually set size_format to 3:

- Copy and paste the following into your Everything search box:
/size_format =3 - Press ENTER in your Everything search box.
- If successful, size_format =3 is shown in the status bar for a few seconds.

@void - You're right, it can be edited directly in the ini file, but I wondered why the author didn't include it in the UI if this option exists?
Re: Options: Missing MB value in Size format dropdown?
When I wrote the UI, I thought users would prefer the Auto format.
With KB and MB, sizes are rounded up.
1 byte will show as 1 MB.
There's a big difference between 1 byte and 1MB (not so much these days... but when I wrote the UI).
