General • Re: How to set default directory

Everything automatically searches all indexed drives.

To limit your results to just the C: drive, include the following in your search:

c:



Consider creating a filter for each drive:

• In Everything, from the Search menu, click Add to filters....
• Change the Name to: C:
• Change the Search to: c:
• Click OK.

Filters can be activated from the Search menu, Filter bar (View -> Filters), right clicking the status bar, filter macro or filter keyboard shortcut.



To combine drives, use |

For example: C: or E: drive:

c: | e:



To add external non-NTFS drives to your Everything index:

• In Everything, from the Tools menu, click Options.
• Click the Folders tab on the left.
• Click Add....
• Select your external drive (for example: E: drive) and click OK.
• Click OK.

The default search can be set under Tools -> Options -> Home -> Search.
The default filter can be set under Tools -> Options -> Home -> Filter.
