The same file is shown to me twice

Post by mattben »

Hello everyone. First of all I apologize for my English. I love this software, but I don't understand or see how to fix this problem I have. With an image everything will be clearer, but I will try to explain it.

When I search for a file, the software shows it to me twice, when there is only one file in the source folder and not two.

If I create a file right now, in the search I get once. If they are old files, they appear twice.

Thanks!! ;)

NTFS volumes are automatically indexed by "Everything".

Adding an NTFS volume as a folder index will show duplicated results.

Please remove any NTFS volumes from your folder indexes:
  • In "Everything", from the Tools menu, click Options.
  • Click the Folders tab.
  • Select any NTFS volumes and click Remove.
  • Click OK.
To check which NTFS volumes are automatically included:
  • In "Everything", from the Tools menu, click Options.
  • Click the NTFS tab.
  • NTFS volumes that have Include in database checked are already included as a NTFS index.
