Search on a NAS over a LAN: possible ??

[nounours18200]

Hello,

I have 2 questions:

Q1: I use a Synology NAS (DS1821+) located on my LAN: can Everything perform a search on this NAS ?

Q2: is it possible to define a parent directory from which a search should be performed ? is yes, how ?

Thank you,

[void]

To add your NAS to your everything index:

• In Everything, from the Tools menu, click Options.
• Click the Folders tab.
• Click Add....
• Select your \\server\share or mapped network drive and click OK.
• Click OK.

If you are unable to select your network share or mapped network drive, 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.

To limit your results to a specific folder (including subfolders), search for the folder path:

For example:

c:\windows\
"C:\Program Files\"
\\server\share
D:

Note: The search works best with a trailing backslash
Use double quotes to escape spaces.



To limit your results to a specific folder (excluding subfolders), please try the parent: search function:

For example:

parent:c:\windows
parent:"C:\Program Files"
parent:\\server\share
parent:D:
