Default is "Everything" doing some mining?

For me it's a general issue with indexing. The indexes may or may
not be up to date, for example, after adding or modifying or
removing some files, but without indexing, what you see is what
you get, and there is no waiting for an index to rebuilt each
time.


I've used Everything for many years on many computers and what you
describe has NEVER EVER been a problem or issue. The index is always
updated instantly, even on the slowest of computers. The closest I've
ever seen this be to a question is when I've attached removable drives
and Everything has added its contents to its index, and those files are
still listed after you disconnect the drive. You can rebuild the index,
which takes less than a minute, or better yet, just tell it to not
bother to index removable drives.

I also have indexing turned off on my system too. That's one of
the first things I did when I get a new computer, but in this case
it may also be due tothe potential for hogging some system
resources, on occasion.


Window's built-in search indexing is, indeed slow. Everything's
indexing is immediate and virtually undetectable. Likewise, it's search
is instantaneous.
