Index recent changes

Post by harryray2 »

I'm just trying to cut down a bit on my memory usage...

I use dc:last1mins and dm:last1mins a lot, If I disable index recent changes will this affect it?

Disabling recent changes will slightly reduce the memory requirements of Everything.

To disable recent changes:
  • In Everything, from the Tools menu, click Options.
  • Click the Indexes tab on the left.
  • Uncheck Index recent changes.
  • Click OK.
If you disable recent changes, you will lose the ability to:
  • Sort by the Date Recently Changed property. (use Date Modified instead)
  • Search for the Date Recently Changed property with rc: (use dm: instead)
Recent Changes is a left over feature from Everything 1.3, where Date Modified information was not indexed by default.

Optimal settings for Everything
