I appreciate the help. The second instance method has been working great so far. However, it is a bit convoluted to set up.Not the best solution, but you could run another instance of Everything just to index your file lists.
If you really wanted to, you could setup the instance to index the Everything Server and file lists on the server.
I also tried NotNull's solution with the filters (using the file list on the server but not on the client), and this appears to work well too. I think I would prefer to use this method since it's simpler, but there does appear to be one minor drawback. I'm getting an issue where the archive file shows up twice on the client (without any filters applied). For example:A simple shortcut could be:
Searching for files in archives:<.zip|.rar|.7z>\
Searching for regular files/folders:!<.zip|.rar|.7z>\
Untested ..
(assuming you don't have folders that actallu\y have a .zip/.7z/.rar "extension")
It only shows up once on the server, however:
I'm not entirely sure why this happens. I noticed the file size is different. I assume the one without the date modified property is the sum of the sizes of the numbers I entered into the file list, which would be the uncompressed sizes. Perhaps it is related to this?
Any idea how I can prevent the archive files from showing up twice on the clients?
