    Amazingly fast search and indexing, also easy to access app features through context menu (shell extension).

    Everything runs into more settings issues than Listary. Mainly though, if you want a list of files that stays open in a pull down menu, go with Everything. If you want to click it and be done, Listary is the easier option.
