SDK: What attributes are indexed?

Post by NotNull »

Just wondering ...


Does the SDK have an API to list what file attributes are indexed? Does not look that way.

Querying Everything for non-indexed attributes (like Date Created for example) does not have much added value compared to querying the filesystem for these yourself ( I guess).

So querying what is indexed before requesting just the indexed attributes will make self-written applications faster?


Or do the API's only return indexed data?

To check if a basic file property is indexed:

Everything_IsFileInfoIndexed



Only indexed information is returned.
If you request date created and it is not indexed you will receive the empty date modified value (QWORD_MAX).
