Is it possible to locate a file within search results?

Post by Turok »

Is there a way to locate a file inside search results (without excluding those that don't match the criteria)? like what "open path" does in Windows explorer, but within Everything.

Try pressing Ctrl+F. That brings up a bar at the bottom of the search results list. You can type in a string to highlight the files within the search results that have that string. Then Press F3 repeatedly to jump to the next file with the highlighted string. Press Shift+F3 to jump to the previous file with that string. Does that help or were you looking for something else?

Yes, that's exactly what I was looking for :D
I've just noticed that pressing Ctrl+F on my Everything just highlights the text in the main search bar. But then looking at the toolbar found what you described under Edit>Find/Find Next/Find Previous so I just needed to create hotkeys for these actions.

Thanks for helping.
