Everything CONTENT-SEARCH using WDS?

Post by PeterPanino »

Can the Everything content search use the content index built by WINDOWS SEARCH (formerly WDS) to achieve better content search speed?

Yes.
Everything 1.5 supports to query the Windows search index.
From the help

system-index:
si:

Search for files or folders in the system index that match the specified system index search.

Advanced Query Syntax is supported.

Example:
system-index:foo
system-index:"my content"
system-index:kind:music
si*:"a phrase" (the rest of the search text including the double quotes is used in the system index search)
si:"&quot:a phrase&quot:" (&quot: is replaced with a literal double quote ")
