That unfortunately does not align with industry trends/best practices which have been gaining momentum over the last decade. Even Administrators for the past several years are urged to avoid engaging day-to-day activities with administrative rights because of the massive amount of risk involved in one small slipup taking down a corporate network.
As for non-admin users, technically it is possible to bypass UAC, for example, by installing a service (permissions are needed only on install in this case).
But it will not take into account file permissions and will search through all files.-Cashper (November 22, 2013, 07:56 AM)

Speaking as an Admin...if one of the users came to me with that as a request ... I would probably set them on fire. :)
Is there a possibility of mode switching the application so that it could be started in a lower performance but still user (level) account accessible state? IIRC this can be don't with an at launch runtime prompt so it wouldn't (/shouldn't) require requiring the user to deal with hotkeys or command line switches. Perhaps a quick rights test and then a dialog prompt appears if/as necessary.
It would go a long way towards making the application business network friendly.

Yes, this is possible. I will probably add this possibility in future versions. Thanks for your input!

Thanks for this, writing a brief review.
The In directory browse button doesn't actually browser for a folder but individual files on XP
MilesAhead:
Hmm, I wonder if it's that Everything Search either doesn't use the journal or doesn't search contents that enables it to run without the UAC trigger. I thought I had it set to Run As Administrator but I just checked and it's not.
It definitely uses the MFTs to get the index.
