Its immediate search results require previous searching. Like Windows
own indexing, Search Everything has to build its own index. I suspect
it occasionally performs an update by scanning the drives to detect
anything that changed that its service might've not captured at the time
of change.

I assume the some tens of seconds Everything takes when I start it
(sometimes; I haven't figured when. Possibly only first time after a
reboot?) is it doing an index. I haven't really looked at what CPU it's
using during that time, or timed how long it takes - but, even though it
might actually be over a minute, it does end. Whereas this 24/25% CPU
seems _not_ to. (Obviously I haven't - consciously - let it run for
hours, though I think I've sometimes come back to the machine and found
it happening.) So if it can do a full index in a minute or so, then
settle down, what exactly is it _doing_ when it takes off like that?

Unless I missed it, I did not see an option of when to reindex in the
background.

Since I stopped (because it had gone into 25% CPU mode) and restarted it
near the beginning of this thread, it has now been running for over 20
hours, and is still behaving itself - 00 in task manager - although it
might have had a busy session while I was asleep. [I don't shut the
machine down.]

If you are concerned about data mining, use a network monitor, like
wireshark, to check if the program is phoning home. Make sure to
disable its auto-update check to eliminate that network traffic. If you

I'm not - I really don't think voidtools are either mining bitcoins
(which I _think_ I wouldn't mind anyway) or data mining. It was just a
quick and not really thought-out reaction to seeing CPU usage suddenly
not being at idle level.

DOES anyone else experience this sudden rise in CPU usage of Everything,
or - like several other funnies! - is it just me?

You could try running Sysinternals Process Monitor, and see if the repetitive
loop it gets into, emits any system calls. And then you might get an idea
of what to look at.
