Search Current Directory

[CWBillow]

If I'm in Explorer (Total Commander/Directory Opus), is there a way to have Everything search the directory I'm currently in, and any sub-directories as weell?

Try -path "%1"

David, I'm sorry, I'm not understanding.

I went to a folder that I knew had Word "dot" files, and tried both

*.dot -path "%1"

and

-path "%1" *.dot

and

-path "*.dot"

but none worked.

I think David is suggesting using the command line. If you're using Directory Opus, you can assign Everything to a keyboard shortcut/button. I have Ctrl+F assigned to open a search window of Everything.

Code: Select all

C:\Program Files\Everything\Everything.exe -path "%1"

However when I have a folder selected I get a double "" at the end, e.g.

Code: Select all

"I:\Downloads"" 

so then the contents of the directory aren't shown. It works fine if I have files selected though.

Edit: I just did some fiddling with the parameter in Directory Opus and have found

Code: Select all

C:\Program Files\Everything\Everything.exe -path {filepathshort} 

to work quite well.

Oh-h-h-h.

I'll take my slow self over and try that.

Thanks,
