Application prioritization

Post by SexyMango »

I was wondering if there was a feature that allowed everything's search index to prioritize applications for every search. For instance the windows 10 search engine only seems to pull up the shortcuts. I would prefer if they just showed up at the top and then the most relevant files showed up underneath them as per the typical search.

Over time, HIstory will prioritize based on (search date | search count | search).

As it is now, for me, typing a 'b', will bring up beyondo.exe, first choice, from history.
Likewise, various other programs that I run regularly, are now at the top of the list, so 'bas' brings up bas_sandboxie.bat ...

Not quite what you're looking for but if you're wanting a "program launcher", in some respects, Everything can do it.

(Suppose you could also fudge search history, pre-load items you want to "pop", by manually editing Search History.csv [after having closed Everything].)

Hey, thanks for the reply. That is awesome to hear and should be good enough for my purposes. One follow up question though: Do I specifically need to open programs from the everything search to receive historical data or do can i open it anywhere on my computer and it will log it? Ie. if open blender from my desktop shortcut then the next time i search "b" will blender most likely be the first to come up.
