I am running Everything on two computers. lets call them ONE and TWO.
On the first computer Everything created a database with name
Everything.ONE.PET.DB
When I look into the Everything installation directory on the second computer then there is no corresponding *.DB file.
I expected a file "Everything.TWO.PET.DB"
In options of both Everything installations the section
Indexes--->NTFS is the same:
Local NTFS volumes D: is checked and settings for it are
Include in database=Yes
Enable USN Journal=YES
Monitor Changes=YES
So why does Everything not create a DB file on the second computer?
Can Everything be confused if there is already a DB file from ANOTHER COMPUTER in its installation directory?

Why does Everything create no *.DB file on one computer?
Re: Why does Everything create no *.DB file on one computer?
Have you exited Everything?
I don't believe the .db is created until you have.
Have you searched for 
?
Depending on how you went about things, the .db may be in the directory where Everything.exe exists or within %APPDATA%.

Everything saves the database in memory.
The database is only stored on disk when you exit Everything.
The Everything.db is normally stored in %LOCALAPPDATA%\Everything
If you have Store settings and data in %APPDATA%\Everything disabled, your Everything.db is stored in the same location as your Everything.exe.
Please make sure Everything has write permission to this folder.
Call Everything with the -update command line option to update the database on disk:
Everything.exe -update
(might be useful if you don't want to exit Everything)
Everything will store the database as Everything.<Computer-Name>.<User-Name>.db when Tools -> Options -> Indexes -> Multi-user database filename is enabled.
