I use Search "Everything" Version 1.4.1.877 (x64) which I
downloaded about 6 months ago to update a much earlier version.
It has an "Advanced Search" that will search content and many
more things. --We should all get the latest version [;-)].

The latest version at https://www.voidtools.com/ appears to be
1.4.1.935.

But
lately, I too have been noticing Search "Everything" interfering
with Windows 7 Explorer after using MSIE-11 while Search
"Everything" is active.

I haven't noticed any similar issues, but then, I don't use IE11 (or any
version of IE).


I wonder. If you had a million files in an IE cache,
would the dates on the files change when you use IE ?

I would want to understand just how many files were
on this machine, for a starter. To see if there is
"any potential way for scaling to account for it".

Like, if there were 10 million files, you would
expect the indexing (if and when done) to take
longer than an average install/use of 0.5 million files.

My brother (in his researcher era), contacted me once,
talking about slow system performance. And happened
to mention he had IE cache cranked to the moon. Back
then he was collecting scientific papers in his field
for usage in his company database, so he was using
the web browser 8 hours a day at the time. And it turned
out, he had an inordinate amount of files in that
cache. Turning the cache down, returned his laptop
to "normal".

So when a person mentions IE, I hark back to that
datapoint, of setting the IE cache a little too high,
and ending up with too many files sloshing around in there.
