Everything is a must-have app that does what it says it does in a clear, simple, flexible and very efficient way. Anybody working with a large number of files spread out in multiple directories will find benefit in using Everything.
How to use it:
Very useful. Instantaneous. Small memory footprint. Not processor intensive. Lots of options.
No it does not search inside files, nor does it claim to do so, nor do I need it too do so ; that would make it too heavy and slow for my use.
Thanks Everything!
2022 update: Everything is still an essential tool for my everyday needs and is still unmatched by Windows' search capacities (which are nowhere near as useful as Everything).
This app would be my go-to search if it didn't routinely overwrite and destroy its own database settings. No point to this app for me if I can't specify which parts of my drives I want indexed.
If you configure it to index folder size, you have something faster than WizTree.
Version 1.5 (currently alpha 1390a) adds a folder sidebar treeview so you can narrow down the results faster.
A little setup (most of these settings are in version 1.5+)
In advanced options, always_keep_sort = true.
In main window, the results can be sorted by size, largest first.
In View menu, Sort By can be set to Mix Files and Folders. Alternatively search filter can be changed to Folders.
Folders sidebar can be enabled in View menu.
In the folders sidebar, you can uncheck Subfolders if you wish.
Trade-offs
+ index updated in real-time (configurable) + you can type the first letters of folder names in the treeview to overcome lack of sorting by size - no charts to visualise space usage - folders sidebar treeview not sorted by size - no [### files in Folder]
Great piece of software. Faster and better search than windows 10 default search especially for external hard drives, It can find duplicate items i tried it with mp4 files and images and it did work fine.
Has significantly improved the QoL of windows, and is one of the few programs i insist people install.
Fast, efficient.
It's amazing, searches everything like the name says. Only thing missing is a dark theme.
