Global filter reset button.

Post by romanshein »

I suggest creating a button in UI that functions as a global reset to all search filters (for example, a similar button has existed for many years in Excel).
Recently, I had a situation where I couldn't figure out why Everything could not find a folder, that I know exists. It took me a while to notice that I'm searching with a filter.
Obviously the main culprit was the user, but the button could save me from wasting the time due to my ignorance.

I will consider a toolbar button to reset the filters.
Thank you for the suggestion.

For now, please try setting your default search under Tools -> Options -> Home.

The active filter is also listed in the status bar on the right or in the filter bar (View -> Filters)

And I bet that on average long time users of programs like Mp3tag do this mistake much often when they start using Everything, because they are used to operating with just one filtering bar / drop down menu

For sure I was one of them
