Result list for multiple search

Post by JohnE »

Hello everyone,
I need some help.
I search multiple files and I want them to be listed according to the order by which I have searched them.
I copy the text that I want to search from a list of a Text document and I paste it to the search bar in Everything.
Can someone please tell me what do I need to do?
Thanks

Everything doesn't really have a way to specify the sort order to "term searched".



It can be done with custom columns.

You can do the following:

<file1.txt a:=1> | <file2.txt a:=2> | <fileA.txt a:=3> | <fileB.txt a:=4> sort:a

(results are sorted by the assigned Column A value)



I will consider an easier way to do this.
I have on my TODO list to add a sort by "file list order".
However, you would have to put the filenames in a filelist, then open the filelist.
