Is there a column (or another way) showing the first indexing and / or the last update of an index?

The "Date Recently Changed" column, in combination with options -> indexes -> [x] index recent changes, will show you when a file/folder object has last been updated in the index. But it won't show the time of the first indexing. Just individual updates since then.

Many thanks!

How could I show the values under that column here:

The check boxex being checked were checked before indexing.

Respectively, why is nothing displayed under the column?

Try sorting the column so that all objects with a timestamp will bubble to the top of the list. Clear "root:" out of your search bar.

The date indexed can be found under Tools -> Debug -> Statistics.
Date indexed is listed for each volume.

There's no date last updated property available for each volume.
I'll consider adding a property to show this information for each volume.

The last index update (for any volume) can be found under Tools -> Debug -> Statistics -> Update.

All the items in the result list are on top, these are the ones I want the information ("updated") from. When Everythings shows every item available, there does not seem to be much to bubble, only the values / updateds for the online drives.
The date indexed can be found under Tools -> Debug -> Statistics.
Date indexed is listed for each volume.
It doesn't look very clear, and it's also a bit uncomfortable to get to. Is there some easy-to-reach, quickly visible information? E.g. near the indexes in the folder panel? Is there a search option in the statistics?

Ah, great, many thanks!

Sorry, where is "Update"?

No.
I will consider showing this under the Tools -> Indexes options page.

Sorting by the Date Recently Changed property will show you the latest updated file/folder in the result list.


Is there a search option in the statistics?
No.
You could copy the statistics to notepad and search from there.

Volumes are listed at the bottom of the statistics page.


Sorry, where is "Update"?
Open your Tools -> Debug -> Statistics
On the statistics page, under the Update header there is a Last update date field.

Ah, sorry, thought an item in the menu was meant. Yes, I had found that update in the statistics, now I see, it is the last update ever, not the one for a single volume. The last updates for each volume are the ones like this, I assume: Date indexed: Mo,13.02.23 22:15
