help with file size limit on indexing small files

[darioush3]

hello everyone
i have a little problem with indexing huge amount of data on my hard drives
i need to exclude files with the size of smaller than 500 kb from indexing to improve performance and decreasing index database size
how could i achieve this goal?
in exclude tab there is only format based option

Currently there is no exclude option to limit files by size.

I'll consider adding a size exclude filter for the next version of Everything.

You might like to try exporting your results to a efu file list and indexing that:

• In Everything, type in the following search:
  size:>500kb|folder:
• From the File menu, click Export....
• Change Save as type to EFU Everything File List (*.efu)
• Choose a filename and click Save.
• From the Tools menu, click Options.
• Click the NTFS tab on the left.
• For each NTFS volume:
  • Uncheck Include in database.
• Click the File lists tab on the left.
• Click Add....
• Select the file list you saved earlier and click OK.
• Click OK.

Note: file lists do not monitor changes in real-time.

You will need to manually rebuild this file list if you want up-to-date results.

I agree that it would be helpful to be able to exclude indexing small files, even if the size was not adjustable
