SearchEverything: Getting Opus to work with Everything

Tutorials

That usually means the program has crashed, or sometimes that it exited without removing its icon from the tray. The program is no longer running but the tray doesn't check or notice this until you move the mouse over it.

143

Yep, sounds right. What should I do to fix this?

144
  1. Get this:

  1. Make sure your version of everything is at least somewhat recent and has "Run as Service" checked in preferences.

  2. Searching should not create popups anymore and you'll get your results in a lister after searching.

above is how it goes for me.

146

Change path in script to SearchEverythingCLI.exe

147

That name didn't work. What did work was "SearchEverythingCoreCLI"

Thanks for your help! Works now! :slight_smile:

148

My bad sorry. Glad you worked it out :slight_smile:

Great work!!!
Could you consider add some options, like for example create sub collections instead of replace the Everything collection?

150

I'll look into it when I have some free time on my hands :wink:

    then this dialogue box will appear.

    I press Ok Then Nothing happen.
    Everything does not run.

How to solve this problem?

You need to install Everything from VoidTools. You've only installed the SearchEverything helper tool from this thread.

Note the error message in your screenshot says Everything.exe needs to be running, but you're running SearchEverything.exe (which is the same thing the button already runs).

If you aren't already using Everything, this thread probably isn't something you need. It's for people who have tried and like Everything and want to use it via Opus.

Thanks dear Leo for replay. As your Instruction now I download Everything 1.4.1.935 from VoidTools. Installed it in all default settings. Run Everything.

now I click on my toolbar button LMB. the Enter String dialogue apper. I type some string press OK nothing happen. NO Error like before.

And for your kind information I already used everything before.

154

SearchEverything requires everything to be installed as a service so we would not require administrative elevation on every search.

Make sure Everything service is checked in Everything's options:

Also I advise you to use the CLI version as it's more streamlined and has better performance than the other one. You can get it here:

Thanks apocalypse for helping me. As you say I make sure that Everything service is checked in Everything's options

in that situation now I click LMB on my toolbar button and type some string press OK then this error massage comes

156

  1. Delete old Search Everything folder (C:\Program Files\SearchEverything v.4.0.0.0)

  2. Download newest one from github releases and put it in C:\Program Files\SearchEverything

  3. Change button code to point to C:\Program Files\SearchEverything\SearchEverythingCoreCLI.exe

  4. It should work.

Glad it worked :slight_smile:

To show results in a new tab just edit both buttons and add
Go NEWTAB as a new line before the line containing SearchEverything.

159

The new tab also works fine for me. THANKS MAN,

Is there any way where I can use those kind of searching criteria Like Match whole word, or what kinds of file have i search Like Audio, Video, Picture etc with your CLI?

161

Only regex is implemented from those. I'd rather not over-complicate the helper.
A workaround for types would be to include the file extension using everything's OR operator like this:

something zip|rar

media mkv|mp4|avi

Check Everything's Help > Search Syntax for more operators.

This way you could also make your own additional buttons that would add the types to the search string.

Match whole word is on the to-do list.
