Everything : I type in search field c:\temp and it doesn't show anything

Hi:
I am using Everything portable 64bits latest version and when I type in the search field
c:\temp
doesn't show anything
Even I check "Enable Regex" and I got the same thing, it shows nothing.
What is wrong? Any help will be appreciated.
Thanks

By default there is no folder c:\temp and RegEx would not be needed to get it.
You may have no NTFS volume and not configured Folder indexing.
Also a portable version will need time after starting to get the index.
Also you can have set a filter which prevents to show this dir,
set your Filter setting to Everything

Thank you for your answer.
I found the problem, When I check "Enable Regex" from Search Menu Tab,
For example, if I search "c:\program files\" Everything shows nothing,
but When I UNCHECK "Enable Regex" from Search Menu Tab, It works in the normal way.
Here an example of an advanced search with regular expressions and make sure
to uncheck "Enable Regex" from Search Menu Tab:

folders:"c:\program files\" regex:"Auto.*key"

As a result, everything shows "Autohotkey" folder, which is correct.
Thanks

\ is a special character for regex. So try c:\\temp if you check Enable Regex
In Regex all special chars like \ . $ and others have to be preceeded by \ to be recognised as such.
