Ignore File List When Searching...

Post by Nighted »

I'd like to ignore files lists when searching to avoid dupes, especially when looking at thumbnails.

I have file lists of offline drives, and when they are online I obviously get a lot more results in the list than I want. Often I open the settings and remove the file lists then add them back when the drives go back offline, but a more transparent/elegant solution would be appreciated.

I'd like a macro that can search bypassing all loaded file lists or a feature that could disable files lists automatically when an associated drive/location is available. I think a macro would be the simplest option.

Any ideas/suggestions? Am I missing something?

Thanks! :)

Depending the version of Everything you are using, add one of the following to your search query:

Code: Select all

1.4:  !filelistfilename:.
1.5:  !filelistfilename:

That works fairly well. Thank you. 👍
