Multi instances for Everything

Post by Tom.Zhang »

Thanks to Everything, I can search some file from more than 80,000,000+ text or jpg files.
Now, the index DB is more than 2GB and Everything eats more than 6G ram.
For long term considering, I'd like to catelog files as year, 2014 as one folder,2013 as one folder and so on, maybe put old data like 2013 in another server but keep latest two years in one server.
The question is i want to run two instances in one server, one maps to 2015 folder and the other maps to 2014. how does it work?

Thanks

Create shortcuts to Everything.exe with the following -instance command line options:

Code: Select all

Everything.exe -instance "2013"
Everything.exe -instance "2014"
Everything.exe -instance "2015"
Run these shortcuts to open the specified instance.
In each Everything instance setup the correct indexes for that instance, for example, in the 2014 instance setup the indexes to include only the 2014 folder.

If the indexes for the 2014 folder do not change much, please consider creating a file lists.

Currently, it is not possible to run two or more instances in the same ETP/FTP/HTTP server you will have to run two or more separate servers on different ports.
