Thank you Horst, I didn't read anything that mentioned es.exe was its own project that didn't come included with Everything.

I launched EverythingPortable and after pointing the script to es.exe it's working perfectly!

For future readers, near the bottom of this page is where you can find es.exe to use alongside this script: Everything Download Page

I've also noticed that this script works against an existing database, even without Everything running. Very cool.

Hi everyone, I am using the script together with the everything 1.5 alpha version with the same settings but I don't get any results (empty paper folder) on one of my computers (the 2nd one works as expected). Any ideas?

Possible problems:
- Everything is not installed or only the Lite version of Everything installed.
- Everything not running while es.exe is executed

Its simple to test by just running es.exe in a cmd window.

Actually I am getting the Error 8: Everything IPC window not found. I am running everything 1.5 alpha in portable mode and everything service is working normal...

This is fantastic! I only recently discovered the amazing Everything and was in fact thinking how great it would be if XY could use Everything's search features...and here we go! :D

So I've managed to get it up and running in a haphazard way but would now like to make the whole thing more smooth and portable so, questions are...

- I'm running both XY and Everything as portable but from different locations on my drive. I guess I could put the Everything app folder inside the XY app folder so that it's fully portable...right (and make the changes to the .ini of course)? This way XY with Everything integrated becomes fully portable?

- Is there a more 'elegant' way of running the script where it almost seamlessly replaces XY's search engine? Or do I always need to go to the 'Scripting/Load Scripting File...' menu to do an Everything search? (or maybe you use some sort of clever shortcut?).
It's all very new to me so...
Thanks!
(just in case, please be gentle with your explanations...I'm not a coder :roll: )

- You can put it wherever you like as long as you adapt the path for calling it

- Use a UDC (user defined command) and assign a keyboard shortcut?

I want to keep my XY setup with Everything portable, so how can I set the path in the .ini to point to my Everything_x64 folder that I've placed inside XY's folder so, e.g.: D:\Portable Apps\XYPlorer\Everything_64

As it is now, with the default path, running the script pops a window showing it's expecting to find Everything at D:\Portable Apps\
So how do I modify the ini so that it stays portable? I assume there's some kind of wildcard that can be used?

Code: Select all

EverythingPath=<xypath>\..\Everything_x64

It already looks quite portable as <xypath> is always pointing to your current path to XYP, wherever that is...

Well...not really for my case scenario because it points to the parent folder of XY so D:\Portable Apps\ and expects to also find the Everything folder there.
I want Everything to be INSIDE XY's folder.

Everything inside of XY folder is a bad idea.
Its not only the exe file but also many config files (ini and csv).
They are clearly don't belong to XY and it has no benefit to mix this files into the XY folder.
