![]() I use Bill2's Process Manager to launch this script as soon as BareGrepPro.exe is detected. The numbers are specific to my screen, so if anyone decides to use this, you'll have to adjust them to your needs.

The free demo version opens with a pop-up ad prompting you to buy it, and auto-closes after 5 minutes. The bad: The -n option (no-regex) doesn't seem to work from the command line. It's faster with a clearer display of contents. The good: For searching through txt and ahk file contents, I prefer it to InfoRapid and FileMenu Tools' included Search and Replace. ![]() That's one way to integrate it into the Windows Explorer context menu. I added BareGrepPro (demo) to my FileMenu Tools options with cmd line arguments "-n -i -r -ws 2". Both walk the dirs, which is slow on large hierarchies (big code base) but I don't want big index files and slow indexes: last time I tried Google Desktop Search, I quickly removed it. To search in files, I still use BareGrep, as I like to see the relevant lines (sometime I go back to Agent Ransack). This may or may not be of any value to you. ![]() You can also change the exclude_drive_ x key to 1 but this key appears to be redundant if the check_media_ x is already set to 0. The fastest way to fix this is to edit the Everything.ini file and set the check_media_ x key value to 0 ( x is the drive letter(s) in question). The objective is to get Everything from checking your external devices every time you plug one in. You can change this in the "Volumes" tab of the "Options" window but only after an NTFS drive has been connected. It doesn't give me an error but the program stops responding while the indexes are rebuilt. If one appears (plugging in an external HDD for example), the program (at least for me) will stop what it is doing to re-index all drives, including the new drive. The Everything program, by default, checks all drives (A-Z), looking for NTFS drives. However, it does sometimes give me an error message when I connect an USB flash drive or external HDD onto the computer - maybe it's an issue with Firewire or FAT?I ran into this same problem. ahk files, for example, and to make replacements without have to open files. Search and Replace, works great to search contents of my. I should also have mentioned FileMenu Tools - it's a collection of mouse context menu tools, including Adv. I just uninstalled it for the second time. Copernic is better imo - my idea was to let it only index certain directories - program files, scripts, etc., but it still indexed too much, without much benefit over Locate32 or InfoSearch. I didn't like Google Desktop Search either - it caused some problem on my computer. To search in files, I still use BareGrep, as I like to see the relevant lines (sometime I go back to Agent Ransack).ĭo you use BareGrep's Free or Pro version? The latter seems interesting, but I don't like the restrictions on the freebie.īoth walk the dirs, which is slow on large hierarchies (big code base) but I don't want big index files and slow indexes: last time I tried Google Desktop Search, I quickly removed it. However, it does sometimes give me an error message when I connect an USB flash drive or external HDD onto the computer - maybe it's an issue with Firewire or FAT? And sometimes its the culprit when I get the 'Cannot stop device' message when attempting to eject a USB drive. I love Everything I originally used the portable version, but have since moved it to C:\Program Files, added it to start-up programs, and added it to my defragger's list of high performance files (i.e. It might be an interesting alternative to old Windows' Find Files or Super Finder (both walk the directory each time) while remaining lightweight. It currently scans my hard disk (lot of files!). Thanks for pointing to Everything, it looks very interesting. ![]()
