What is Everything?

"Everything" is an efficient search engine specifically designed for Windows that enables users to swiftly locate files and folders based on their names. Unlike the standard search feature in Windows, "Everything" provides an extensive list of all files and folders on the computer immediately, which is the origin of its name. Users can refine their searches by applying particular filters to get more precise results. This software indexes solely the names of files and folders and usually establishes its database in just a few seconds; for example, a new Windows 10 installation containing around 120,000 files can be indexed in roughly one second. While "Everything" does include a content search option, it’s essential to recognize that the contents of files are not indexed, resulting in a slower search process for that feature. On a fresh Windows 10 installation, it will use about 14 MB of RAM and occupy less than 9 MB of disk space, but managing approximately 1,000,000 files necessitates about 75 MB of RAM and 45 MB of disk space. Users will notice their search results refresh in real-time as adjustments are made to the file system. In addition, "Everything" is compatible with multiple Windows versions, such as XP, Vista, 7, 8, and 10, making it an adaptable option for all Windows users. This combination of speed and efficiency establishes "Everything" as a vital tool for individuals who need to handle large quantities of files with ease, ensuring that file management becomes a seamless experience. Whether for personal use or professional tasks, users can rely on "Everything" to enhance their productivity.

    A massive time saver

    Updated: Jul 08 2024
    Summary

    I’m so pleased. I’ve wasted so much time waiting for windows search to search the whole drive/s for a particular folder or file name, and this is instantaneous after initial indexing.. which is way quicker than windows ever has been..

    Positive

    It is so quick… I can’t believe after dealing with file explorer for 30 yrs that anything like this was possible.

    Negative

    So far, I’m just using it to find duplicate folders stored on different drives and portable drives, so I have found no problems at all.

    Find. Everything!

    Date: Oct 17 2023
    Summary

    When I first installed it, I immediately searched for the most obscure file I could think of - a 15 year old Word document located on an old HDD. This program found it before I had finished writing the first word.. Meanwhile the standard Windows search takes up system resources almost 24/7 yet takes like 5 min to find that same document.

    I use it as a plugin for PowerToys, but works as a standalone too.

    Positive

    Does exactly what it says, it finds any file on any drive instantly.

    Lightweight.

    Plugin for PowerToys.

    Negative

    Doesn't search file contents.

    No simple "advanced search" (regex is not for beginners).

    I like the minimalistic UI, but it could do with some graphical updates and options. You can customize the colors in the results window but not the rest of the program.

    In the beginning...

    Date: Aug 06 2022
    Summary

    Great for many months. No longer, though. I told a great many people about it but have now turned allegiance to Wise.

    Positive

    In the beginning, it was the greatest search app I had ever seen. But now a few years later, it no longer even searches everywhere at all. Something I know is on one of my drives and the drive is not even searched. I found Wise Jet Search and it is as good as I used to think Everything was.

    Negative

    It stopped searching EVERYWHERE. Thing I know are there are not found. Thankfully there are other alternatives to the Windows search.
