Is there a way to show only duplicate (with same and / or not same names) files and / or folders (by size and / or by date / time) in the result list (with or without 0 byte files / folders?

For Everything 1.4, please try the following search:
sizedupe:
Sort results by size descending.



For Everything 1.5, to find files with the same size, including the following in your search:
dupe:size



To find files with the same name, include the following in your search:
dupe:name



For Everything 1.5, to find files with the same size and name, including the following in your search:
dupe:size;name



To find files with the same date modified, include the following in your search:
dupe:dm



To find files only, include the following in your search:
file:



To find folders only, include the following in your search:
folder:



To find files with a non-zero size, include the following in your search:
size:

Thank you very much!

dupe:size
These are accurate to the byte?

And this shows dupes with same size and name:

Yes.


And this shows dupes with same size and name:
dupe:name dupe:size will show duplicates for name anywhere in the results and size anywhere in the results.

Example:

foo.txt 1kb
foo.txt 1kb
foo.txt 2kb (same name, but size is matching bar.txt 2kb)
bar.txt 1kb
bar.txt 1kb
bar.txt 2kb



dupe:name;size will show duplicates where both the name AND the size together are the same as another single result.

Example:

foo.txt 1kb
foo.txt 1kb
bar.txt 2kb
bar.txt 2kb

dupe:name;size will show duplicates where both the name AND the size together are the same as another single result.
And this shows the same like above but with same modified date, I assume:
dupe:name;size;dm

Many thanks for the examples!

dupe:name;size;dm will only show results where all 3 properties (name, size and date modified) match another single file.
