Everything is a search utility that locates files and folders by filename instantly on the Windows OS. But, unlike Windows’ search function, Everything will initially displays every file and folder on your computer.
Everything can rapidly locate any files and folders by name on an NTFS volume. You simply type in a search filter to limit what files and folders are displayed and voila! your search brings back everything within those parameters.
After installation and running the app for the first time, Everything creates an index of the names of every file and folder on the volume from the file metadata in the NTFS Master File Table. As all mounted NTFS volumes are indexed, it is continually updated by the app from the NTFS change journal. Everything then searches this index for file names matching your search terms and parameters.
Everything can now search contents of files.
