Is there a way to limit search results?

[donotbugme]

lets say i have a folder of randomly named files and i want just to show every 2nd 7th or 83rd file

Do you want to show the 2nd/7th etc file in multiple folders?

I'll consider an option to do this.

A random sort feature is in development.

for me just whatever is in the results window regardless of where its from could be limited

also is there any reason when i open a file list it doesnt show thumbnails?

ES (the command line interface) may help you:

es.exe <your search> -o <x> -n 1

where <your search> is your folder search
and where <x> is the zero-based offset, eg for the 2nd item, use 1, for the 7th item use 6 etc..

For example, to find the 7th item in your c:\windows folder:

es.exe parent:c:\windows -o 6 -n 1



File lists are read only, Everything will avoid going to disk when browsing a file list.
An option to allow icons and thumbnails for file lists is in development.
Thank you for your suggestion.

You can also limit the number of results in the Everything result list.

If you want only 8 results to be shown, add the following to your search query:

Code: Select all

count:8
