How to prevent scan disk at startup?

[yxtiger]

I'd like to start new search quickly after openning, but scan disk prevent me to do so ---- scanning will take a while.
How could I disable scanning at startup?
------------------------
And I only search old files, which I can't remember well. So, there is no need to rescan disk often. Here comes my advice:
*make new option to let EVERYTHING only rescan once a week, etc.
*let EVERYTHING rescan smartly, only when there's no keyboard/mouse operation in 5 minutes.


Great thanks!

A couple ways:

1). Start Everything with monitors paused:

Everything.exe -monitor-pause
To resume updating your indexes, in Everything, type in the following search and press ENTER:
/monitor_resume


2). Use folder indexing instead of NTFS indexing:

• In Everything, from the Tools menu, click Options.
• Click the NTFS tab on the left.
• For each NTFS volume:
  • Uncheck Include in database.
• Click the Folders tab on the left.
• Click Add....
• Select your NTFS volume and click OK.
• Repeat for additional NTFS volumes.
• Click OK.

Folder indexes are updated in the background, allowing you to search the existing index immediately.


3). Try Everything 1.5 alpha.
Everything 1.5 will update all indexes in the background, allowing you to search the existing index immediately.

I tried method 1, and satisfied.
I like EVERYTHING. Good wishes!

4). Let Everything update in the background.

When Start Everything on system startup is enabled (Menu:Tools > Options > General), Everything will be scanning in the background to update your index. That way it will be up-to-date whenever you opne Everything.

Updating in the background uses very little resources.
