Basic Question - Default Path

[BK42]

I am a relatively new user, so please forgive a basic question in the midst of all your advanced discussions.
I HAVE looked at Help and Forums but cannot find a way to set a default path in the search bar that appears whenever I start up the wonderful Everything program.
I am running 1.5.0.1310a (x64) and would like c:\office\docs\ to appear, with the cursor positioned after the 's' so that I can just type what I am looking for!
If someone can point me at the location of the information describing this, or tell me how to do it, I would be most grateful.

In Everything you can configure a default search to use:

• Go to Menu:Tools > Options > general > Home
• Configure Search = Custom >
  "c:\your folder\"
  
  (notice that there is a <space> at the end of the custom search)
• Click OK

After opening a new window or after pressing 'Alt + HOME' (or Menu:History > Home), your folder will already be in the search bar.
You might have to press 'CURSOR RIGHT' first if the search is selected (blue background).

That was an advanced question; you are now officially qualified to take part in advanced discussions

Set your Tools -> Options -> Home -> Search to:

Code: Select all

c:\office\docs\ 

Note the space at the end.

To automatically move the caret to the end of your search for new windows:

• In Everything, type in the following search and press ENTER:
  /select_search_on_create_mode=2
• If successful, select_search_on_create_mode=2 is shown in the status bar for a few seconds.
• where 2 can be one of the following:
  • 0 = Do not select.
  • 1 = Select all. (default)
  • 2 = Move caret to end.

select_search_on_create_mode



Consider creating a filter to search C:\office\docs\

• In Everything, from the Search menu, click Add to filters....
• Change the Name to: Office Docs
• Change the Search to: C:\office\docs\
• Click OK.

Filters can be activated from the Search menu, Filter bar (View -> Filters), right clicking the status bar, filter macro or filter keyboard shortcut.

The default filter can be set under Tools -> Options -> Home -> Filter.
