    Wow, I have just learned how to use Everything. I have used it for 20 years as a software engineer, but I never used any of its capabilities. I only typed part of the name and found the file, then went to the location and copied the file from the folder. I could have saved hours of time over 20 years! Thanks! Awesome video! Best regards.

      It can buy it is very slow. If you want to search for content, use windows search. Windows index is always updated and ready. Everything is great - and extremely fast - for for attribute search.

    It is a great app, but I put too much on my new 2 gig drive to reformat now. I will still use it when I can.

      You do not have to reindex. Add it as a folder and then it is searchable.

    Hi Dr Nitin, thanks so much for your very informative video. Recently I found an old hard drive which I attached to my computer. I couldn't get "Everything" to search the drive! The solution was that the drive was FAT32 and I had to reformat to NTFS before it worked. FYI
