lines repeated twice

Post by Patrick31150 »

Hello,
When I launch a search on Everything, In the result window, all the lines concerning my HD are repeated twice.
Do you know why?
Thank you for your help
Patrick

NTFS volumes are automatically indexed by "Everything".

Adding a NTFS volume as a folder index will show duplicated results.

Please remove any NTFS volumes from your folder indexes:
  • In "Everything", from the Tools menu, click Options.
  • Click the Folders tab.
  • Select any NTFS volumes and click Remove.
  • Click OK.
To check which NTFS volumes are automatically included:
  • In "Everything", from the Tools menu, click Options.
  • Click the NTFS tab.
  • NTFS volumes that have Include in database checked are already included as a NTFS index.

I think such a common question could have been avoided.
What is the solution that will save the next user from asking the same question?

Read the book ;-).

Note that a folder index has to be added, manually - by the user.
So... the question then becomes, why is the user doing it?
If by not knowing, they learn by the experience :-).

I suppose, when adding a folder index, & it sees that you are adding to an already indexed volume (or part thereof), it could prompt, but that might be awkward.
