More MFT goodness: the file search tool Everything (https://www.voidtools.com/ https://www.voidtools.com/)

It's crazy how the Windows Search Indexer still doesn't use MFT. It doesn't even bloody support network drives so there's no such reason.

So that's why Everything is so fast. Nice.

I am building an advanced filemanager (FileNinja) for Windows with full integrated everything search & query. you have the option of saving bookmarks to virtual folders that consist of everything searches. Instant directory sizes, tags, custom file descriptions for ntfs. Anyone interested? https://youtu.be/JREufgkf5pk?si=sP05UCOrskpX8OTq https://youtu.be/JREufgkf5pk?si=sP05UCOrskpX8OTq

  I'm interested! Great marketing video by the way, a good example of using AI-powered voiceovers to level up the one-man-marketing polish capabilities.

  Cool, but what is the biggest feature compared to Everything and Listary?

I want to like Everything but every time I start it up it takes 30 sec to 1 minute to update it's index

  You can set it to run on startup or as a service so it updates the index in the background.

  Try Everything 1.5a - an "alpha" version with many improvements, in development for years but inexplicably hidden away on their website. Never experienced any instability. https://www.voidtools.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=9787 https://www.voidtools.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=9787

    Wow! Shocked that this is the first I've heard of this given that I've been using Everything for years now. Thanks for the link.

    Love everything, but I had no idea there was an update... I'll have to try it right away, thanks!

  Uninstall, re-install as a service which may now be default.

    Better as a service too because the GUI doesn't need to request admin rights.

  You should not be starting it when you want to search. You should open it when you log in, and leave it in the tray. It will do a full index on launch then subscribe to filesystem notifications to keep itself up to date for as long as it’s open. Do that and it’s alarmingly fast and responsive except for the minute or two right after launch.
