Windows search

Post by beethoven »

Just wondering if xyplorer is making use of Windows search services or is running totally on its own. If so, I suppose I can disable that?

Totally on its own. No way to change it.

thank you - I am very happy with xyplorer, so no intention to change anything. Just wanted to avoid disabling this window feature and then accidentally affecting xyplorer relying on some parts of it.

Using the scripts here im forum you can use Everything search tool to query the Windows index.
The results are stored in an XY paper folder.

What do you mean with "when" ?
You can do it if you want to use the Windows search index to search for files or content in XY.
Its faster then any file managers native search functions.
