No problem. I use regex fairly often, so this is a simple problem for me

Btw, thanks for the donation 

If I understand you correctly you can write a regex like this with same effect:

[copy or print]
^aa\s?(.*)$

The problem is with the aa alias.
You are capturing the space with the search string.
So when you type in

[copy or print]
aa[space]

FARR captures the space as $$1. Then in turn, you pass $$1 along to the result and have

[copy or print]
dosearch C:\test\[space][space]

that triggers the other alias that matches on \s\s.

I think it is good practice not to capture the space before the parameters. There is less chance of bugs like this.

I've sometimes got hangs in FARR when secondary disk drive got turned off by windows. Maybe that's the problem with you?

Do you have a folder with lots of files in your FARR search path?

So FARR is doing that?
I've recently gotten a laptop with windows 8 and it was driving me nuts with constantly adding a en-US culture/keyboard layout. I never tracked it down to FARR.

Have you tried toggling the Launch method in Settings -> Launching files?
Sometimes when FARR acts strangely like this I change the Launch method setting and it works. Although I haven't had such problems in a long time.

There is a Network connections plugin that lists all your network connections. I can't find the link but I think that it can be installed through DcUpdater utility.

Alternatively you can modify your search folders settings not to use the modifier keyword for control panel shortcuts.

Off-topic but FWIW, I personally have copied the God Mouser mode shortcuts to the FindAndRunRobot\Scripts\Control Panel (cpanel) folder, so I can get those.

Thus:

  Simple and effective. Not sure if it could be automated, so that it is included in FARR on install...

I think that it would be better to tap into the USN journal like Everything just to get the filenames or windows search index to get the content index also than to implement it all over again. There is a windows search plugin already but for me it consistently crashes FARR (win7 x64).

I use FARR to quickly find commonly used files and folders. If I need to search the entire disk I use Everything (with FARR alias to trigger it on double space at the end). Only time I use windows search index is to search for emails.

For me, index in FARR is not really necessary, as I rarely search the entire disk for just one file (ie. i search for multiple log files, or a group of images etc) and FARR cant' handle multiple files selection and manipulation (as far as I know).

This really seems to confuse people. If I remember correctly, those folders are placeholders needed by DcUpdater, right? Is there another way of configuring DcUpdater, at least for installation of new plugins?

february 2011? 

As farr as I can tell, everything works fine including launching office files and windows accessories (snipping tool, iis manager etc) 

I believe that the skin editor that mouser is linking to in this post is applicable:

I don't want to be a drag, but isn't Win+D a shortcut to show the desktop?

Try choosing a custom search background color with slenderFarr skin. That removed the flickering for me.

  Thanks mouser!

Is there any news on this?

Try using Network connections plugin for launching network connections. You can get it using DcUpdater

I like the alt+number combination for launching one of the first 9 results. If what I want is not in the first nine I just keep typing until it is
This is a lot quicker than down-down-down-down-down or even tab-tab-tab-tab.

I got the same error, yes. The Timer plugin stores it's past alarms as a JSON array in the user variable. FARR (or something else) limits the length of the value field to 1024 chars. When the array became longer than 1024 characters, everything that was behind the 1024th char was discarded. JSON string then became syntactically incorrect and caused the JSON parser error.

I noticed that the user variable value length is limited to 1024 characters. It is not a problem in itself, but it causes the Timer plugin to stop working when you have enough timers in the history.

This is probably not so much a FARR core issue, as it is the Timer plugin issue.

Quick fix is to set the timer::archive uservalue to an empty array, but it would be great if the plugin could handle this automagically.

I am not sure what Alt-Left should do, but as in text editors - ctrl + left or right should move the cursor one word forward or back. ctrl + shift + left or right should move the cursor one word forward or back and select the text. ctrl + backspace should delete the word left of the cursor, and ctrl+delete should delete the word after the cursor.

I would also like to note that FARR interprets croatian characters "šđčćž" as word separators. However, it is not that big of a deal for me as I don't use those characters in filenames or application names.

I use FARR and Everything in the same way Nod5 described. I use FARR for launching and whatnot, and when I want to search for a specific file somewhere on disk, I pass it to Everything native window using double space at the end. Here I don't need (or want) FARR's sorting and scoring algorithms and aditional features that FARR brings. I just want the files to be sorted alphabetically or by last modified date. I like Everything's option to include (or exclude) filepath from the search, and I also like the option to search using regex.

What I also like is that in Everything I can easily select multiple files, copy them etc. And the windows stays open. I don't like to keep FARR open. To me it is a tool - a starting position to open other tools. I mean, FARR is good at searching relatively small and precisely selected locations (like the start menu or my documents etc), and using aliases and plugins to easily connect me to web sites or services (google, weather, imdb....). It, however, is not a tool to search my entire hard drive, nor it is a tool for editing text, nor it is a file management tool, or even an programming IDE. I have other tools for that.

FARR is great, and it has a powefull plugin system. IMHO, that is enough. Only thing that could be worked on is improving the plugin system so that plugin search results would be included in FARR without explicitly calling a plugin, ie. let browser bookmarks be included in every search by default, or if someone wants - let some file searching tool feed the results to FARR (be it Everyting, Windows search or Locate32 or some other tool)

You could always use autohotkey
You can set up FARR to start at Pause hotkey and then use AHK to map win+space to pause

[copy or print]
#Space::Send {Pause}
