I have a file "FOO" that that I create a hardlink of using Link Shell Extension which generates a filename for the new file as "hardlink of FOO". Everything lists FOO from the start, but when the hardlink is created it doesn't appear in the results. If I rename the second file, e.g. "hardlink of FOO" -> "FOO2", Everything then lists both FOO and FOO2.
With UltraSearch (from Jam Software), as soon as the hardlink is created it is returned in the results list - there is no need to rename the file.
I'm using Windows 8.1 64 bit SP1, Everything 1.3.4.686 (x64).

(i can reproduce that) but I wonder if that's just not an anomaly?
(Or if it might only exist during a particular session?)
Ordinarily (currently) Everything will only find 1 part of a link.
