Everything is an interesting and advanced search program for Windows.

Review Everything: Advanced search program

Although the search mechanism of Windows has improved considerably in recent years, interesting alternatives are available. A good example of this is Everything. The app first makes a total index of the content of the fixed drive. All files are then shown. As soon as you start typing the name of the file, the search results become smaller and only the hits appear. In practice, indexing the fixed disk takes only a par second. On the website of the makers we read that a size of one million files takes about a minute to index.

The program is also available in a portable version that you do not have to install. This also immediately makes it clear the approach of the makers: Everything is a minimalist program that seizes little on the system sources. The index with files is continuously up -to -date: all changes in your files are immediately included in the search results. If you often use the same searches, you can add them to a favorite list. If you prefer the keyboard to the mouse, you can use the shortcut keys. You can also adjust this. You can use the program for free. The program is suitable for both Windows 10 and Windows 11.
