Everything search has stopped working correctly

Post by miogpsrocks »

Everything search has stopped working correctly.

For years it has worked flawlessly however after I expanded my NAS server, it has stopped working.

I will search stuff I know I have but it does not find anything.

Could the expanded space has made the indexed database so big that it broke the everything search engine? Maybe exceeded the max rows in the database or the max file size? :?:

Thanks.

Please make sure no search options are checked under the Search menu (eg: uncheck match case, uncheck match whole words, uncheck regex)

Please make sure the Everything filter is active under the Search menu.



Please make sure Everything is installed correctly and running as a standard user:
  • In Everything, from the Tools menu, click Options.
  • Click the General tab on the left.
  • Check Store settings and data in %APPDATA%\Everything.
  • Uncheck Run as administrator.
  • Check Everything Service. (Please make sure this is tick-checked and not square-checked)
  • Click OK.
  • Exit Everything (right click the Everything tray icon and click Exit).
  • Restart Everything.


Please try forcing a rebuild:
  • In Everything, from the Tools menu, click Options.
  • Click the Indexes tab on the left.
  • Click Force Rebuild.
  • Click OK.


Please let me know if the issue persists.
