Everything1.4.1.1032

Type a filename or partial name into Everything and it immediately narrows the displayed file-and-folder listing to entries whose names match the filter. As you add more specific text, the broad set of possible matches becomes a targeted lookup without changing the search’s filename-based focus. The result is a direct way to locate a particular file or folder when its name is known but its location is not.

Everything is intended for Windows users who regularly need to find items by name, including everyday searches through a large collection of files and folders. Its primary operation is simple: enter a search filter, inspect the matching results, and refine that filter until the relevant item is shown. Because the search is centered on filenames, it is suited to lookups where the item’s name is more useful than its folder path or other details.

Published by voidtools, Everything runs on Windows x64 systems and is distributed under an open-source license. The current version is 1.4.1.1032, which fixes a security issue involving the launching of files whose names end with a period. It also corrects an issue where the MSI installer did not stop Everything.
