They took out the HTTP and ETP/FTP? While I didn't use those often, I did use them (as mentioned in my earlier post on this thread).

[....]
ETP/FTP/HTTP servers were removed due to time constraints.
They may be added as an addon at a later date.

[...] Everything is still intended for administrative use, but there is now some functionality when run without administrative privileges.

You will need to use folder indexing when running Everything without administrative privileges, which is a little slower than ntfs indexing and real time monitoring is not as reliable as ntfs monitoring.

%APPDATA% option
When this option is enabled Everything will store the following files in the %APPDATA%\Everything path:
Everything.ini
Everything.db
Bookmarks.csv
Filters.csv
Search History.csv
Errorlog.txt

This option is not available on win9x.

Below is a list of %APPDATA%\Everything locations for each operating system:
XP: C:\Documents and Settings\user\Application Data\Everything
Vista or later: C:\Users\user\AppData\Roaming\Everything

If this option is disable "Everything" will store settings and data in the follow locations:
XP or earlier: Same location as Everything.exe
Vista or later: C:\Users\user\AppData\Local\VirtualStore\Program Files (x86)\Everything

When running Everything as Administrator, settings and data are always stored in the same location as Everything.exe.

In Everything, from the Tools menu, click Options.
Click the History tab.

What is the Everything service?
The Everything service is a Window service that manages indexing and monitoring.
This allows the Everything search client to run with out administrative privileges.

How can I start or stop the Everything service?
The Everything service can be started or stopped from Start -> Control Panel -> Administrative Tools -> Services.

How is the Everything service started?
Windows automatically starts the service at system start-up.
The service is launched by running Everything.exe with the -svc command line option.

Code: Select all

Everything.exe -svc

How can I manage the Everything service from the command line?
-install-service [-install-service-port <port>]
-uninstall-service
-start-service
-stop-service

How can I manage the Everything service from Everything?
In Everything, from the Tools menu, click Options.
Click the General Tab.
Check or uncheck the Everything service to install or uninstall the Everything service.
Click OK.

How can I run the Everything service from the portable version of Everything?
To launch the Everything service as a normal administrator application, run the following:

Code: Select all

Everything.exe -svc

You can specify the port with -svc-port <port>, for example:

Code: Select all

Everything.exe -svc -svc-port 12345

Running the Everything service this way does not modify the system.

The Everything service has no interface.
Use Task Manager to terminate the service application when it is no longer needed.

You can close the portable service application easily by making a batch file that runs Everything.exe -svc
Simply close the console window to terminate the service application.
