Extension precedence while searching

[notsu]

Is it possible to have some sort of file extension precedence while searching, such that for example .lnk files appear before everything else in the results? Been looking everywhere, can't seem to find any info on this.

(At least in Everything 1.5 alpha, thinking you can do something like artificially inflate the runcount of .lnk & then do a search sorted by runcount...

Specifics escape me.)

Other than the workaround @therube suggested, Everything does not have an option for weighted sorts.

It was suggested some time ago and if I am not mistaken, @void will look into this. Don't expect it anytime soon though.

Alright, thanks for the info

Column formulas can be used to rank files.

However, Column formulas are currently designed as a once-off search, not for each search.

For example, include the following in your results:
<*.lnk column-a:="0"> | <* column-a:="1"> file: sort:column-a

This can be added as a filter under Search -> Add to filters
