A small modification to make multiple search phrases carry over from the FARR input box to Everything:

Code

^ev(.*)
Everything Search $$1 | C:\program files\everything\Everything.exe -search "$$1"

I made another small revision in my FARR alias for Everything. Maybe someone else finds use for it too. I'm now using the most simple and quick alias possible: a space at the start of the FARR input box. So " file.mp3" + enter opens Everything and searches for file.mp3. But "file.mp3" does a regular FARR search.

Code

Everything Search $$2 | C:\Program Files\Everything\Everything.exe -search "$$2"

and the new regexp:

Code

^(?: |ev)( |)(.*|)

The same initial-space-alias could probably also be used for the Everything plugin but I haven't tried that yet.

I found a link to v.1.2.1.413b on their forum. This beta hasn't been announced officially.

It has at least one useful new feature - a "run frequency" column that lets you display more commonly used files/folders first. An item's run frequency is incremented whenever it is launched and can also be set manually.

For those who are keen to try beta versions, the newest is 1.2.1.425b, taken from this thread on their forum.

It has filters!!   Hallelujah! ... to be implemented.

Alpha version Everything 1.2.1.451a released

Changes:

• improved searching for folders by up to 20 times faster.
• fixed unrecognized included volumes in the options window.
• fixed an issue with the volume monitors not releasing handles when safely remove device requested to unmount a volume.
• fixed a display issue with new recently change dates/times.
• fixed a crash when sorting by size then second sorting by recent changes.

Hopefully I won't have to kill it occasionally when unplugging SATA drives now.

A good balance of both - need to try
