Limit resultlist

Post by MortenHe »

Is there an option to limit all searches to e.g. 50 results? I couldn't find any option in Tools -> Options.

This would be a nice combination with the new delay search to reduce the items to inspect.

A "load more" Button would be even more nice :-)

Thank in advance and many greetings
Martin

ES (command-line) has

Code: Select all

   -n <num>, -max-results <num>
        Limit the number of results shown to <num>
Which you could output to a .efu
& then open that .efu in Everything.
(And all that could be automated.)


Depending on your needs, something like that could work.

new delay search
I assume you are using Everything 1.5, please try creating the following filter:
  • In Everything 1.5, from the Search menu, click Add to filters....
  • Change the Name to: Max 50
  • Change the Search to: count:50
  • Click OK.
Filters can be activated from the Search menu, Filter bar (View -> Filters), right clicking the status bar, filter macro or filter keyboard shortcut.



I will consider making this a part of the UI with a load more button.
Thank you for the suggestion.
