Everything is a fast folder and file name search engine for Windows. Unlike Windows search this tool initially displays every file and folder on your computer. You type in a search filter to limit what files and folders are displayed.

    Text entry UI is horribly designed. If you make a typo or want to change the entered string, you have to carefully backspace over it, because Esc will close the window altogether. That's really inconsiderate. Esc should clear the search box (or better, do a "select all", so you can type over the previously entered text). For an application that I would expect to use very often, this is too annoying to bother.

    And the strain it adds to the system every time it starts and scans the filesystem pretty much kills the joy. I'll take Locate32 any time - just create an index once and be done with it, then rebuild the index on schedule or manually. Much better that way.

    Finally, someone gets it. This is the way all software should work.

    It works so well, some days I don't even have to open Windows Explorer.

    I can usually think of several things any program needs, but not this one. When a program works this well, I am reluctant to ask for anything.

    OK, maybe an optional viewer window for popular file types and a search within option. But really, I'm happy with it just like it is. (using 1.2.1.451 alpha)

    Doesn't search file contents. OK, I can live with that limitation--if the damned thing works otherwise. But it doesn't. I have continually found it not showing files that I know are there. FileLocator Pro sees them; gee, why doesn't "Everything" see them? Recreating the USN journal does nothing. Making software that isn't buggy does.

    BEST windows file searching app EVER. I'm serious!

    It's free
    Portable
    Lightweight
    Comes in compressed (ZIP) format for easy upgrading
    Beautifully designed, light web-site

    The only features I see missing:

    1) Choice of "grid-lines"
    2) Auto-check updates on start (please!)
    3) More frequent updates (donating will help this!)

    Everything-1.2.1.371 is a beauty - but I cannot install it on Windows 7 - is there a shortcut or ea version for that?
