Description

EverySearch is a combined content/file-system plugin (.wdx / .wdx64, 32-bit and 64-bit) for Total Commander that opens a live search box overlaid directly on the active panel, powered by a running Everything (voidtools) instance.

Key features:
  • Instant search: Press Ctrl+Alt+F (the letter is configurable) to open a search box on top of the active panel; results appear and update while typing, straight from a running Everything instance - no separate search window.
  • Results to panel: Selected or all results can be fed into a real, browsable Total Commander panel listing, like Total Commander's own "Feed to listbox": Enter replaces the listing, Ctrl+Enter adds to it, so results from several searches can be combined.
  • Act on results: Jump to a result in the active panel, view or edit it with Total Commander's own F3/F4, open it with its default program, or copy its full path - from the keyboard or the right-click menu. In the panel listing, Ctrl+Left/Right opens a result's real location in the left or right panel.
  • Browse folders: A folder result can be browsed straight into, behaving like the real folder it stands for.
  • Filters and drives: A filter dropdown mirrors the filters set up in Everything itself; an item-type dropdown shows all results, files only or folders only; a drive dropdown limits results to all, local, internal-only or network drives, with an icon per result showing the kind of drive it is on.
  • Search in current folder: Type path:. to search only the folder the active panel is showing, including its subfolders.
  • Results list: Sortable columns (Name, Folder, Size, Date), the full folder path, a result count, and matching text shown in bold.
  • Keyboard: Full keyboard control, including multi-select, sorting, paging and a history of recent searches.
  • Dark and light theme: Automatically matches Total Commander's own Dark Mode setting.
  • Safe by default: Deleting a result is refused unless enabled in the config.
  • Fully configurable: via an EverySearch.cfg file placed alongside the plugin: dock position, hotkey letter, result count and sort order, folder column, drive icons, date/time format, search history and logging; changes apply without restarting Total Commander.
