Everything 1.5 Alpha • Re: Problem indexing content

For those interested, that's now what I do to search for any file with extension .doc or .docx, including the word(s) I'm looking for:
*.doc* content:word1 content:word2 content:word3

The following search does the same:
*.doc* content:<word1 word2 word3>

Subexpresssions

1. Where can I find more info on the types of searches I can do with Everything?

Help -> Search syntax for the basics.
Search functions for all searches with examples.

You already mentioned that we should limit our search database to <1 Gb. But is there a way to speed up the Indexing process when I have folders containing thousands of Word documents, with a size of more than 50 Gb of data? Reason: I am a writer and translator, and I need all of those for my research. Those files could contain whole books in two languages, research papers, and more.

Store the files on a good NVMe SSD drive.
No need to use Everything indexing.
Everything will read all the content without indexing in a few seconds.

If you are storing on a SSD, please make sure Everything is using multiple threads under
Tools -> Debug -> Statistics -> NTFS Index (C:) -> Multithreaded

Everything will index files on HDD as fast as possible.

Everything should only index once.
