How to Save Indexing on Everything

Post by SGS&Co Mauritius »

Hello Team,

Every time we restart the server on which we have installed Everything application, the indexing takes a lot of time (it can takes 3-4 days) to index:
My question:
1. Is there any way to save the Indexes on Everything.
2. Can Everything application work in background?

A solution of the above will help us to overcome lot of issues

1. Is there any way to save the Indexes on Everything.
Everything stores its database in memory.
This database is saved to disk on Everything exit.

Please make sure Everything is installed correctly and running as a standard user:
  • In Everything, from the Tools menu, click Options.
  • Click the General tab on the left.
  • Check Store settings and data in %APPDATA%\Everything.
  • Uncheck Run as administrator.
  • Check Everything Service. (Please make sure this is tick-checked and not square-checked)
  • Click OK.
  • Exit Everything (right click the Everything tray icon and click Exit).
  • Restart Everything.
Please make sure you are shutting down your server gracefully.


2. Can Everything application work in background?
Everything normally runs in the background (Tools -> Options -> UI)
Do you mean as a service?



How many files are you indexing? (shown in the status bar when the search is empty)
Are you indexing remote shares under Tools -> Options -> Folders?



Everything 1.5 will periodically save to disk.

Hello Team,

Despite having done the below steps, the index are not saving when the server is restarting.
Can you advice urgently, how this can resolve the issue?

Could you please email information about your Everything setup to support@voidtools.com

Is the client service installed?
Please send your C:\Program Files\Everything\Everything.ini
Please send your %APPDATA%\Everything\Everything.ini

Hello Team.

Can you confirm if you need file Everything.ini in the path below, or do we need to run it and send you the report.
Please send your C:\Program Files\Everything\Everything.ini
Please send your %APPDATA%\Everything\Everything.ini

Also on services.msc, I can see the Everything service is running, is it same as client service?

Awaiting your response

Please send both ini files, no need to run anything.

The Everything service is different to the Everything Client Service.

Are you using any servers in Everything? (ETP/FTP/HTTP/Everything-Server?)
or, are you using the GUI on the server?
