Hyperlink that start serach a string in Everything
Re: Hyperlink that start serach a string in Everything
Please try -search command line option:
Everything.exe -search "abc 123"
The Everything search is set to: abc 123
Use triple double quotes (""") to escape a literal double quote:
Everything.exe -search """"abc 123""""
The Everything search is set to: "abc 123"
-search
The shortcut target should look something like:
"C:\Program Files\Everything\Everything.exe" -search "abc 123"
Everything.exe -search "abc 123"
The Everything search is set to: abc 123
Use triple double quotes (""") to escape a literal double quote:
Everything.exe -search """"abc 123""""
The Everything search is set to: "abc 123"
-search
The shortcut target should look something like:
"C:\Program Files\Everything\Everything.exe" -search "abc 123"

It works, but without "
not
"C:\Program Files\Everything\Everything.exe" -search "abc 123"
C:\Program Files\Everything\Everything.exe -search "abc 123" <- it works
Can i create an URL non shortcut?
I want to use it from Onenot or Word.
Re: Hyperlink that start serach a string in Everything
Enable the ES URL Protocol and use an es://search URL to open Everything and set the search:
For example:
abc 123
es: URL Protocol
- In Everything, from the Tools menu, click Options.
- Click the General tab on the left.
- Check URL Protocol.
- Click OK.
For example:
abc 123
es: URL Protocol

With such a link the search will be opened again and again in a new Everything window. Is it possible to set the search to start in an active window?
Re: Hyperlink that start serach a string in Everything
Everything will use the Tools -> Options -> UI -> "Create a new window when running Everything" option to specify if a new window is created or an existing window is shown.
If you don't want to change this setting, you can customize the ES: call by editing your registry:
