Everything 1.5 keeps on indexing forever !

Post by VIJAY »

Hi

I am not sure what happened or how it started, but now whenever I open Everything 1.5, it keeps on Indexing forever. It used to work fine earlier. It is stuck at 50%, for hours. I uninstalled and reinstalled but same issue. I observed that it is stuck at "Everywhere.search-ms" as indicated on the progress bar on bottom right. Screenshot is attached.
Everything 1.5
Windows 11
Android OS

Please help

Please avoid indexing This PC as this will take a very long time:
  • In Everything, from the Tools menu, click Options.
  • Click the Folders tab on the left.
  • Select This PC and click Remove.
    ---
  • Click the NTFS tab on the left.
  • For each volume you wish to include in your index:
    • Check Include in database.
    ---
  • Click the Folders tab on the left.
  • For any remaining, non-NTFS volumes:
    • Click Add....
    • Select your volume and click OK.
  • Click OK.
