Everything 1.5 Alpha • Re: How can I have an online and offline index?

Please try creating an Online and Offline filter:

• In Everything, from the Search menu, click Add to filters...
• Change the Name to:
  Online
• Change the Search to:
  !offline:
  
  (I use !offline: here instead of online: because !offline: will match volumes where the online status is unknown -where as online: will only match volumes Everything knows are online)
• Click OK.
  
• In Everything, from the Search menu, click Add to filters...
• Change the Name to:
  Offline
• Change the Search to:
  offline:
• Click OK.

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



It is possible to run multiple instances.
I don't recommended multiple instances for your case.
Indexing just offline volumes is not possible.

You could setup your main instance to include only online volumes and your other named instance to include online and offline volumes.
Set your main instance to automatically add new volumes and automatically remove offline volumes under Tools -> Options -> NTFS
Leave both these settings unchecked for your named instance.
It's not very memory efficient to do this.
