'Everything' is one FAST file search engine

<< < (15/18) > >>

Nod5:
Here is an AHK script for replacing the current folder search in Explorer (CTRL+F). Why? Because I often use small Explorer windows and the default search sidebar the takes up almost the entire window so using Everything is quicker compared to resizing the explorer window.

--- ---;-- EverythingExplorer ---
;-- replace explorer CTRL+F active folder search with Everything
;-- AHK script by nod5 -- http://nod5.dcmembers.com/
#IfWinActive, ahk_class ExploreWClass
^F::
#IfWinActive, ahk_class CabinetWClass
^F::
WinGet, xid, ID, A
ControlGetText,xpath, Edit1, ahk_id %xid%
run, %A_ProgramFiles%\Everything\Everything.exe -search "%xpath%\ "
returnA problem though: when the path includes spaces, the above does not work. I need to pass a quoted path to Everything. I tried

--- ---""%xpath%\" "and

--- ---"""%xpath%\"" "and

--- ---"^"%xpath%\^" "but that didn't work. Any ideas on how to get it to work?
edit: once the path issue is sorted a similar script could be made to do the searches through FARR via the FARR everything plugin.

edit2:
temporary workaround, with barely noticeable delay:

--- ---;-- EverythingExplorer ---
;-- replace explorer CTRL+F active folder search with Everything
;-- AHK script by nod5 -- http://nod5.dcmembers.com/
#IfWinActive, ahk_class ExploreWClass
^F::
#IfWinActive, ahk_class CabinetWClass
^F::
WinGet, xid, ID, A
ControlGetText,xpath, Edit1, ahk_id %xid%
;run, %A_ProgramFiles%\Everything\Everything.exe -search "%xpath%\ "
run, %A_ProgramFiles%\Everything\Everything.exe
WinWaitActive, ahk_class EVERYTHING
ControlSetText,Edit1,"%xpath%"%A_Space%, ahk_class EVERYTHING
ControlSend,Edit1,{End},ahk_class EVERYTHING
return
