I used this for a while. What I don't like is that it updates its database by creating an entirely new copy and then deleting/renaming. For me that meant a several-hundred-MB file was being unnecessarily rewritten on a regular basis. It's a rather excessive waste of resources and not a polite thing to do when a lot of people have SSDs now. I uninstalled it for that reason.

If you set `no_db=1` in `Everything.ini` you can configure it to be memory-only: https://www.voidtools.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=9994#:~:text=link%20files%20forever.-,no_db,-Set%20to%201 https://www.voidtools.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=9994#:~:text...

  I think re-indexing all my drives every time it runs is even worse.

    I think you could uncheck “Indexes” → “NTFS” (or ReFS, or FAT, or whatever else) → “Monitor changes” to disable that and leave yourself to press the “Force Rebuild” button at whatever cadence you like. Or, in `Everything.ini` terms: allow_force_rebuild=1 home_update_indexes=1 -- ‘use the monitor_pause and monitor_stop states’ monitor_stop=1 home_update_indexed_properties=1 -- ‘use the indexed_property_pause state’ indexed_property_pause=1 read_directory_changes=0 Also I just realized you can get a better middle ground between the default daily DB update and RAM-only mode: db_auto_save_type=1 -- (From daily to interval mode) db_auto_save_interval=<milliseconds> and btw sorry I'm not trying to convince you to like Everything; was just curious to figure out if/how it could be done :)
