Everything 1.5 Alpha • Re: Search also in Windows Properties

Is it possible to search always also in that property column?
In other words, is there an option or setting to include such a column in the standard search results?

Please consider the following filter:

• From the Search menu, click Add to filters....
• Change the Name to: Filename or Description
• Change the Search to:
  
  #replaceterms:#(:$param:#):,#(:<#term:|description:#term:>#):
• Click OK.

Filters can be activated from the Search menu, Filter bar (View -> Filters), right clicking the status bar, filter macro or filter keyboard shortcut.
Filters can be organized from Search menu -> Organize filters.

I already add the property to the index and looked at the help which says 'Adding a property to your index will: • Make searching for this property instant.'

Everything will take some time to index the Description property for your files.
Progress is shown in the status bar on the right.
The search will be instant.
However, it will only match files that have been indexed.

Is there different behavior for 'Windows properties' or 'Everything properties'?

They are essentially the same.
Everything will use the Windows property system first, then has some built-in fallbacks.
