A powerful, lightning-fast search tool

Built-in search functionalities on Windows can be painfully slow. Everything is a third-party app that bypasses these functions and organizes your data for never-quicker searches and sharing.

Straightforward and well-organized

Everything is a lightweight, free desktop search utility that indexes your files into databases for easy access.

Everything is free to download, and its functionalities make it useful for virtually any desktop user. It creates an index of files on your PC, which significantly adds to search speed.

Everything shows you default columns for each index, including Name, Date Modified, Size, and Path. You can even add extras. It also lets you move folders, delete them, and more.

Another handy use of this utility is housekeeping. Search functions let you find all files of a specific type for simple handling of what you store.

While you can search for data using keywords, this program cannot find documents and emails.  It doesn't perform a full-text search, either.

Finally, Everything brings a sharing feature to the table by creating an HTTP server and transferring all your indexed files there. It comes in a portable version, too, for users on the go.

Where can you run this program?

Everything runs on Windows 7 64-bit and either version of higher OS editions.

Is there a better alternative?

Yes, Listary is a software program that comes with more functions than Everything. Agent Ransack is otherwise equally efficient and FSearch is the ideal alternative for Linux.

Our take

Everything packs quite a punch for such a lightweight program. Although it lacks some advanced features, it compensates by being free and so lean.

Should you download it?

Yes, if you’re a Windows user and you store plenty of data on your PC.
