Everything Search is extremely fast and flexible. It allows you to incrementally search on multiple text strings (e.g. N: opus pdf - for searching N-drive where 'opus' and 'pdf' shows up in the filename).
I hesitate to say, I donot want to offend our friends at GPSoft, but honestly saying, 9 out of 10 I use Everything Search by just running the (portable) Everything.exe. I donot use the button to run it from within Opus as it is way too limited.
Actually my wish is that the current Opus Find would be based on the same method (at least maybe the 'Simple' one), including filtering methods, advanced search, etc.
As for Everything Search, I am not sure there will be an update.
The latest version is the beta of june 2013.
The developer does not reply to mails and he is not active anymore on the forum.
There are not many alternatives around: UltraSearch to be much slower, MasterSeeker is connecting to websites in the background.
I have been using SearchEverything with Dopus v11 from a button with no problems. The button code I use is..
@admin
/homeroot\Utilities\Everything\SearchEverything.exe "{dlgstringS|Please enter a search string..|{clip}}"
Go NEWTAB=findexisting PATH=coll://Everything
Today I added the exact same command to the Lister Context menu. It works, but not quite the same as from a toolbar button. The differences are somehow associated with UAC but I can't see why UAC should (be able to) distinguish between SearchEverything fired from a button or from a context menu. Anyhow, this is what I am seeing on a Windows 7 (64 bit) system.
[ol][li]When fired from a toolbar button there is no UAC prompt.[/li][li]When fired from the lister context menu there is a UAC prompt, but if I fire it again quickly there is no UAC prompt the second time. If I continue with the rapid fire, every alternate execution triggers UAC. If I slow things down and leave a few seconds between executions, the UAC pops up every time so it would appear to be time dependent.[/li][/ol]
Having a SearchEverything command on the lister context menu is mighty handy and I can live with the UAC prompts. I just wanted to report the difference and I'd be interested to know if there is an explanation for why it should be so.

As said, my -personal- wish is that Opus has a similar thing built in, or at least has an option to activate indexing.
Note that this wonderful tool has been beta since june last year and there is no word from the developer every since.

(just discovered, not yet tested)
can not work . my everything's version is 1.2.1.375b ,dopus is 10+, xp 32 bit. I am sure the code I pasted is correct. When I left click the button, popup the searching box,
whatever I type in and enter, it shows up a window : title is "searcheverything.exe Apllication Error", conten is :" Application Initialization failure( 0xc0000135 )". Please Click " Yes " to terminate the application " .
I hadn't used SE for a while but when I tried my long standing SE button today it no longer works, by which I mean that no output collection is generated. This is with SearchEverything.v3.0.0 and Everything-1.3.4.686.x86 and Opus 11.8.2.
Could someone help me troubleshoot, please? This is my first time trying to set it up and I can't get it to work.
When I run it from DO, using the given button, here are the results:
[ul]
[li]LMB: I get the dialog asking for a search string. I enter a string, but then nothing happens afterward.[/li]
[li]MMB: This launches the Everything GUI just fine. (Version 1.3.4.686 (x.64))[/li]
[li]RMB: Nothing happens except for the mouse cursor blinking "wait" very quickly.[/li][/ul]
When I run SearchEverything.exe from a command line, in the same folder as Everything, I get a dialog box saying that the Usage is "SearchEverything ". When I run it with a keyword, nothing happens. But I'm not sure what's supposed to happen here. Would it output to the command line or DO? Well, it does neither.
isn't it possible to just add an argument to the dopus search field? it's not very comfortable that i can't use a "personal" search field or just have an implimentation of searcheverything in dopus.
Have just installed Windows 10 Tech Preview
Opus 11.12
When I run Searcheverything from button I get UAC then nothing
Button code @admin
C:\Program Files\Everything\SearchEverything.exe "{dlgstring}"
Same happens from command prompt
Everything program works OK
Has anyone else used it in windows 10
Follow up. I managed to get SearchEverything working with Opus 11.12.2 on a 32-bit XP system in a VM. I had to download and install DotNet Framework 2 (NetFx20SP2_x86.exe). My guess is that it depends on this particular version of DotNet. When time permits I'll try to test that theory on a 64-bit W7 system.
My Desktop and laptop both run Win 7 64Bit and search everything works OK

@onedot3 - thanks for posting. It is encouraging to know that someone, somewhere, has this working on W7. My laptop DotNet settings are to all intents and purposes the same as yours so that is unlikely to be the cause of my problem. In the absence of any SearchEverything error message or log (that I am aware of) it's hard to know where to start looking.
Everything.exe version 1.3.4.686 (x64)
Have been messing around on Win 10 and found that I had not been running Everything.exe as administrator.
Run Everything.exe as administrator.
Searcheverything now works in Win 10
Had a check on Win 7 Desktop and Laptop Everything.exe version 1.2.1.371 is not Run as administrator.
