Search per volume

Post by z0xee »

Hey David !

I have 9 External drives permanently attached to my PC and each of them is a mess :D
I think that adding a dropdown box with the drives letters and limiting the search results
to that drive would speed up search results and rest the RAM a bit.

Please try search filters.

To add a search filter for a drive:
  • In Everything, from the Search menu, click Add to filters....
  • Type in the filter name, eg:

    Code: Select all

    C Drive
  • Set the search to drive path, eg:

    Code: Select all

    c:
  • Click OK
To show the filter bar:
  • In Everything, from the View menu, click Filters.
If you really want to be efficient, please consider file lists.
Create a file list of each external drive.
Open and search the file lists as needed.
