no user profile folder files in the index

[rgolubev]

Hi everyone,

I'm running Everything 1.4.1.1022 (x64) as Admin on Windows 10 with bit locker encrypted C: drive. When I open the search, it shows system files and others on the C: drive but nothing in the user profiles folders, i.e. c:\Users\<User name>. What could be the cause of this?

Thanks for any suggestions.
Cheers,
Roman

Thank you for the issue report rgolubev,

Please make sure these files are not excluded from Tools -> Options -> Exclude.
Please make sure Exclude hidden/system files/folders are unchecked.



Please make sure no search options are checked under the Search menu (eg: uncheck match case, uncheck match whole words, uncheck regex)

Please make sure the Everything filter is active under the Search menu.



Please make sure Everything is installed correctly and running as a standard user:

• In Everything, from the Tools menu, click Options.
• Click the General tab on the left.
• Check Store settings and data in %APPDATA%\Everything.
• Uncheck Run as administrator.
• Check Everything Service. (Please make sure this is tick-checked and not square-checked)
• Click OK.
• Exit Everything (right click the Everything tray icon and click Exit).
• Restart Everything.

Please try forcing a database rebuild:

• In Everything, from the Tools menu, click Options.
• Click the Indexes tab on the left.
• Click Force Rebuild.
• Click OK.

Please let me know if the issue persists.

Hi void,

Thanks for the tips.
I only have specific folders in the exclude, e.g. *\bin\*. No such folders exists in user profile folder. In the search options I've got the defaults ticked, i.e.:
Fast ASCII search
Match path
Match whole file name
The problem is, on start, it shows all files elsewehere, but in user profile folders it seems to be filtring files, e..g if I type \Users\ in the search box, it shows only *.cmd, *.bat, *.exe, *.scr and installer files in the subfolders it shows.
Cheers,

Hi void,
I just noticed that it seems to be filtering by file types, and only shows command-related files in general, i.e. *.bat, *.cmd, *.exe, *.scr and *.msi. In the exclude I have entries like:
*\Bin\*
*\Coll\*

Thanks,
Roman

Sounds like you have the executable filter enabled?

Is Executable shown in the status bar on the bottom right?

Please make sure the Everything filter is active under the Search menu.
(or double click the Executable text in the status bar)

You were right! it indeed showed Executable on the status. After I clicked it, it disappeared. I had no idea how that got enabled. (hit a keyboard shortcut key combination by chance (is there one?)
Thanks very much for help
