Everything FAYT : FAYT Script for DO 13

query_as_name: (v1.0.3) If true, the results will be saved as sub-collections with the query used as name. This is useful mainly because it allows multiple searches to be performed without overwriting previous results. Note that only applies if Don't use named collection flag is off.

as I tested, saveing as sub-collections only applies if Don't use named collection flag is on.

I prefer to cancel the association with the option Don't use named collection

Thanks for testing.
That was probably a typo. However, it's worth noting that query_as_name is not used if Don't use named collection is enabled, as it doesn't make sense to create subcollections under Find Results, which is a temporary collection.

I've updated to v1.2.1 to make this clearer (and updated the main post as well).

What you can do (I forgot to document this in the main post) is prefix your search with :: to temporary override this option. If query_as_name is enabled, it will be applied as well.
Now, if you want to use it continuously, simply disable Don't use named collection :slightly_smiling_face:.

I can't use it, every time I search for it it always comes back with no results, I can make sure that the text I type is in the current directory, for example I searched for β€œAn”.

:warning: IMPORTANT: Needs at least DOpus v13.7.4
v1.3.0 (Jul 06, 2024) :

  • Improved recognition of whether Everything is running (thanks to new implementations in DO).
  • Everything can now auto-start to execute the command if everything_autolaunch is set in Preferences/Miscellaneous/Advanced.
    • If auto-started by the command, the same command will close Everything upon completion.
