Save current search as ES Link in hard disk

Hi everyone,

how could i produce a URL shortcut file with current search phrase and save it in a folder...

Cheer,

Automated, there is no way.

Copy the search term, paste it into a batch file, prefixed by ES.EXE...

(And that assumes that the Everything search term is valid for ES.EXE.)


(You said "URL shortcut". Did you mean the specifically, & if so, in what way?)

If you mean Everything (not ES is the command line interface), please try creating a shortcut to your Everything with the -s search command line option:

Everything.exe -s "C:\Program Files\"
where C:\Program Files is the folder search.

Everything GUI Command line options



If you have enabled the ES: protocol under Everything -> Tools -> Options -> URL Protocol, create a search shortcut with es:search
For example:

es:%22C:\Program%20Files\%22
where C:\Program Files is the folder search.
%20 = space
%22 = "

I think I would create a bookmark of your saerch in such a case (Menu: Bookmarks > Add to Bookmarks) and create a shortcut that starts

"c:\path to\everything.exe" -newwindow -bookmark "the name of your bookmark"

There's no automated way if that is what you are asking.

Simply create a shortcut to:
es:<your-search>

Replace <your-search> with your search.

For example:

es:abc 123


Ideally you will want to escape the following characters (although it's not necessary as Everything will treat them as literal anyway):
<space> %20
# %23
% %25
& %26
? %3f
