I use Everything as a search engine in my Search field. It is perfect.
Unfortunately, when I need to search for something on the network, it doesn't find anything and I need to manually switch the search engine (to Opus search for instance), then I need to remember to switch back to Everything once I'm done.
Is there a way to automatically use another engine when a search is beyond Everything scope ?
I thought I read something about this, but couldn't find anything on the forum nor in Preferences.
both suggestions could work but they would only be workaround.
Creating a button would still require a manual action each time I need to switch engine.
Adding network folder in Everything would only help for specific destination. The targets I search are not always known in advance and it wouldn't be efficient to index several network destination constantly.
I think it would be smarter and more reliable to have a fallback in case the target is not known by Everything.
Would this actually be helpful? After all, you’d also need to switch to a different search syntax. In the end, it might just create more confusion, leading to more complaints about the search not working properly.
