Everything Integration Missing Match Path option

I get different results than expected when using the Everything global search integration.

For the following criteria: Everything returns results but Dopus Global Everything does not:

OneDrive PDF
I expect that all PDFs in OneDrive will show in Dopus as they do in Everything.

I did notice that Everything Search's "Match Path" option is not available in Dopus. Perhaps this needs to be somehow enabled.

Global_Everything_search_Results

In the meantime, you can prefix your search with path: for the very same purpose.

Everything search Match Path option would be a great addition.

You can do that with the path: prefix as mentioned above.

I tried using it, but it doesn't find results compared to the Everything utility.


Possibly you need to enable 1.5 to support those keywords, I'm not really sure.

Opus just passes the search string as is to Everything, there isn't really anything more we could do here to "support it".

For that kind of search, try using < and > as quotes.
path:<folder 001 opus>

Sorry to bring this up again. I just think it could be beneficial. Would it be possible to make it work without needing the path: prefix and angle brackets? Maybe by adding a toggle like Flow Launcher's Search Full Path?

Just to clarify my previous reply. Flow Launcher also has Everything integration. It uses the Everything SDK, which includes the Everything.dll. Its settings page includes a toggle named Search Full Path, which corresponds to the Match Path setting in voidtools' Everything.

For example, if this is the path I'm trying to navigate to:
I:\Directory Opus\Folder 001

When Search Full Path is enabled, it allows partial name matching within the full path, making it much quicker to jump to a location without typing the entire path.

It would be excellent if a similar feature could be implemented in Directory Opus's Everything search.

Is this primarily for searching (getting a list of matches), or for navigating to a folder?

If it's for navigating, it can probably be done already, but I'd have to double-check the details.

Edit: Thinking some more, I think both things could be done via a FAYT (Find As You Type) script, if something that worked that way made sense to how you want to use it. (Similar to the other modes listed under Preferences / Filtering and Sorting / Quick Keys.) I can probably help with that, if so.

I'm looking for a way to get a list of matching folders by typing partial filenames from the path.

For example, given this folder structure:

I:\
└── Directory Opus\
    ├── Folder ABC001
    ├── Folder ABC002
    ├── Folder ABC003
    └── Folder ABC004

Currently, I can match these folders by searching with: path: <opus fold abc>

However, I'd like to make this work without having to type the path: prefix and angle brackets, ideally by enabling a Match Path toggle option, similar to what’s available in voidtools’ Everything GUI or Flow Launcher.

Thank you. I’d definitely be interested in that script. But I’m wondering, is there a reason why this couldn’t be implemented natively in Directory Opus’s Everything integration?

We've added an option for this in the next beta.
