Shortcut link with Everything query

Post by filipeteles »

Is it possible to create a windows shortcut link with an Everything query nested inside, so when I click it will automatically open Everything with the specific query?

Thanks!

Please try using the -s <search> command line option, for example to open Everything with the search box fill out with: foo bar Run Everything with the following command line:
Everything.exe -s "foo bar"

Trying to do on the target field:

"C:\Program Files\Everything\Everything.exe -s "E:\Audio\AudioLibraries\" audio:regex:^\d{1,3}s"


But I'm getting target is not valid

Please try searching for:
"C:\Program Files\Everything\Everything.exe" -s """"E:\Audio\AudioLibraries\""" audio: regex:^\d{1,3}s"

""" = a single literal double quote (").

It does not work when I launch the shortcut through Launchy though. Would you have any clues as to why?
