Please try opening the CSV file as an EFU file.

EFU files are CSV files with a "filename" header.
  • Please make sure your CSV file has a "filename" header over the filenames.
    (If the header is missing, Everything will assume its a text/plain list of filenames)
  • In Everything, from the File menu, click Open File List.
  • Select your CSV file and click Open.


If you you want to find files in your index that match the filenames in your CSV file:
  • Please make sure your CSV file has a "filename" header over the filenames
  • In Everything, type in the following search:
    filelist1:
  • Hold down Ctrl and click the filelist1: text in the search box.
  • Click Import....
  • Select your CSV file and click Open.
  • Click OK
