Everything search: no effect

[ZoSTeR]

- Win 10 x64
- Fresh install of TC 9b1x64
- Fresh install of Everything 1.4.0.713b Beta x64 (installed as service)

- TC complains when the Everything.exe is not running, so it's being detected

Searching for "*.exe" in "c:\" takes exactly the same time with both options.

*Edit:
Using Everything 1.3.4.686 (as Admin) and running TC as Admin made no difference.

Same here with Everything version 1.4.0.719b (x64) running as service
and in background.
Searching for a simple thing like "rente monika" gives in Everything itself
1 dir and 9 files without any delay.
The same search in TC gives 1 dir and only 3 files but after searching the whole filesystem on c:\
Please note that using the command line tool es.exe from Everything shows the same results as the Everything GUI.

Same as ZosTer

I have Everything 1.3.4.686 portable and TC complains that it is not installed even when it is running as a service. How can I tell TC that it is installed? Is there an option in TC or there is only an automatic detection?

[ZoSTeR]

You have to start another GUI "Everything.exe". The one that shows in the System-Tray.

Ok, thanks, ZoSTeR, TC doesn't complain now, and checkbox is enabled by default, but it doesn't speed search up.
I search in C:\Windows\winsxs dir and it takes too long time (TC enumerates all thousands of directories) while Everything shows results immediately.

exactly the same here. glad i'm not alone with this though.
first i thought there's also some plugin active, but no.

Version 1.4.0.713b (x64)

Same here with Everything version 1.4.0.719b (x64)...

offtopic. where to get this version? i can't see it, is this non-public?
/edit: ah, changing the download url helps.

[milo1012]

You need to download the Everything DLLs from the SDK:
http://www.voidtools.com/Everything-SDK.zip

Put Everything32.dll / Everything64.dll in the TC dir.
Now start any Everything.exe instance before starting a search, because the DLL communicates via IPC with the exe.
see https://www.voidtools.com/support/everything/sdk/ipc/

In TC x64, TC should use Everything now. The 32-bit version doesn't seem to work for some reason.

ah, you're right.

TC x64 + Everything x86 --> works

TC x64 + Everything x64 --> works

TC x86 + Everything x86 --> does not work

TC x86 + Everything x64 --> does not work

[Horst.Epp]

Ok, after copying the missing DLLs Everything is used by TC.
But unfortunately the results of a TC search are not the same as an equivalent Everything search as explained in my first post above

[MVV]

Yes, if I put Everything libraries to TC dir (BTW TC should give a hint to user regarding these libraries), TCx64 is able to use Everything, but not TCx86. I have 32-bit Everything.

I've tried to search for component in C:\Windows\winsxs and got same 160+74 results in both TCx86 (with non-working Everything) and TCx64 (with Everything).

Searching for component in C:\ gives 524+121 results in TC and 667 in Everything (I've searched with regex using c:.*\\[^\\]*component[^\\]*$ query). I've compared resulting lists and noticed that the only difference was in c:\windows\system32\config\components folder that TC doesn't see w/o elevation. Elevated TC gave me 546+121 results so all seems to be correct.

Also I've noticed that elevated TC can't communicate with non-eleveated Everything, TC completely hangs (it will be sad if TC will unable to communicate with Everything regarding of elevation).

Sorry, I fogot to include Everything32.dll and Everything64.dll. I will include them in the next beta.

Also I've noticed that elevated TC can't communicate with non-eleveated Everything, TC completely hangs (it will be sad if TC will unable to communicate with Everything regarding of elevation).

That's indeed bad. I will have to disable everything when TC runs elevated.

Will there be a way for TC to silently start the exe when it's not running (in env. where I cannot elevate)?

[tcOne]

ah, you're right.
TC x64 + Everything x86 --> works
TC x64 + Everything x64 --> works
TC x86 + Everything x86 --> does not work
TC x86 + Everything x64 --> does not work

Meh, I guess I'll have to use TC x64, instead of x86... ...maybe! Not all plugins are x64.
Anyway, not a big problem. Thank you Mr. Ghisler for the very nice update! :-)

TC x86 + Everything x86 --> does not work

This does work here...

Just make sure you don't run TC elevated. Btw, I found a way to make elevated TC acces non-elevated "Everything"! Just the reverse isn't possible without changes to Everything.
