Currently, Everything shows the matching string in bold.

Sometimes such strings are not easily discernible.
It would be great to have an option to change the color of the string. (let the font be bold, but with the specified color.)

To set the search term highlight color:
  • In Everything, from the Tools menu, click Options.
  • Click the Fonts and colors tab on the left.
  • Change Item to: Result List (Item is only available in Everything 1.5, skip for Everything 1.4)
  • Select Highlighted.
  • Select a foreground color. (optional)
  • Select a background color. (optional)
  • Click OK.

That's wonderful!

Thanks for the prompt reply!

I only looked at General > results node in the settings, as it never occurred to me that the font can be changed anywhere else.
