Everything Crashes during Search

Post by RT_Jim »

Running Everything 1.4.1.1026
I do an Advanced Search with the following parameters:
Word or phrase in the file: design
Located in: <specify a folder on my D drive with multiple subfolders and files>
Include subfolders is checked
Filter: Document

I click OK and the status bar shows "Querying..."

About 45 seconds later, Everything window disappears and the process is gone in the Task Manager

Running on Windows 11 Pro, Version 23H2, Build 22631.4460

Any ideas of what is causing this or (better yet) how to fix this?
I have a similar issue when I try doing a search within Windows Explorer

Thanks!

See if, /icon_shell_extensions=0, makes any difference?

The crash is likely caused by a bad third party iFilter.

Please try SearchFilterView from Nirsoft and disable any non-Microsoft Search handlers.

Does the issue persist?

I tried the /icon_shell_extensions=0 option and that didn't help.

I'll take a look at the Nirsoft option today.
