There are macros which exactly does this.
I for example simply type text:text_to_be_searched
for making a content: search.

Look for /define in the help for version 1.5.
Also, in Bookmarks or filter definitions, you can define macro names.

Filters can have their own keywords. Or in Everything lingo: macros.

See picture below for (example) the Picture filter. It has a macro called pic:
Adding pic: to your search query will limit the results to pictures.

As @horst.epp already mentioned: you can add aliases to these keywords/macros using the /define command.
For example to add the pix: alias for pictures ( pic: )
  • Paste the following in the Everything search bar and press ENTER

    Code: Select all

    /define pix=pic:
