There is no need to store the Everything database(s) on a RAM-drive,
Everything keeps its entire database in RAM and will only write it to disk when exiting
(and after 24 hours of activity).
When Everything starts, the database will be read from disk.
And that is about all disk activity regarding the database.
Typically 1 million items (folders/files) will take around 100MB, so if you have (ballpark) 20 million items indexed - the actual amount is shown in the statusbar - this 2GB size of the database is to be expected.
However ...
Do you have also indexed other file properties (beside the ones shown in your screenshot)? (under Options => Indexes => Properties)
Do you have indexed file content? (under Options => Indexes => Content)
File properties and -content are added to the datbase too and can make up a large portion of the size of it.Especially file content...
