BUG: Explorer plugin search with Everything #2656
Comments
Why are you using a space for the filespec after the folder? |
But why it shouldn't work? I expected consistency in searching with Everything and Everything in Explorer plugin. I believe The reason I liked the idea of using Everything with Explorer plugin was because Everything has very convenient search for me. But it's troubling as I can't use the same thing in Explorer plugin even though I selected Everything everywhere in the settings. And I hope you can agree with me that the same search not working in plugin is not very ideal thing. |
Flow handles spaces differently to identify keywords and arguments so as to trigger plugins, therefor any functionality of Everything that works with spaces will not work here. I'm not a core developer though so happy for one of them to jump in and confirm or offer alternatives. |
Thanks though for your answer |
@jjw24 @taooceros is this possible? If not, let's close |
Checks
I have checked that this issue has not already been reported.
I am using the latest version of Flow Launcher.
Problem Description
Same search prompts in Flow launcher search box and Everything returns different results. Examples below.
Case 1
Trying to search - C:\Downloads\ venc Well basically you can use any full path + word to search with space between them like {path} {word}Results in app:
Results in Everything:
The results clearly different. BUT it somehow works if we add "" to the path or don use full path
Results in app with "":
Results in app without full path:
It also works if we use some Everything's functions like "parent:":
Case 2
Trying to search - C:\Downloads\ *.jpg
Again - can be any extension.
Result in both apps:
To me it looks like plugin tries to use "default" search instead of Everything, and only when "forces" with some syntaxis/keywords it can search with Everything.
Why the exact same query not working in plugin search?
Settings in app
