Custom shortcut to search a specific folder
I know you can search in any folder you're in, but is there a shortcut command/parameter/whatever that lets you search a specific folder when you launch it? Any help is appreciated.

From a command prompt, I'll often use my EGO.BAT.

Re: Custom shortcut to search a specific folder
There are a lot of different ways in Everything to accomplish this, like starting Everything with parameters to open a specific folder, a bookmark or a filter.
One that might be less obvious:
Go to Menu:Toos >Options > general > Home and create a custom search, like shown below.
Whenever you open Everything, it will search in - in this case - C:\Tools :

Please try the -filename command line option:
Everything.exe -filename <path to folder>
For example:
Everything.exe -filename "C:\windows"
Everything will detect if the parameter to -filename is a folder, and set your search to "C:\windows\"
This works best if you are using %1 from a batch file or registry:
Everything.exe -filename "%1"
For more control, use the -s command line option:
Everything.exe -s <search>
For example:
Everything.exe -s "C:\windows\*.bmp"
Everything.exe -filename <path to folder>
For example:
Everything.exe -filename "C:\windows"
Everything will detect if the parameter to -filename is a folder, and set your search to "C:\windows\"
