Excluding Folders => Rescan of Datbase!?

[viking]

When I add or remove an exclusion (Folders), the database is rescanned. Is this a bug or is it by design?

This is by design.

The exclusion process takes place when "Everything" Indexes.
"Everything" will need to re-index if you change the exclude parameters.

If you want to temporarily exclude a file or folder use a exclamation mark (!) before your search.

For example, to exclude abc from your search:

Code: Select all

!abc

To exclude the windows folder, and all its subfolders and files:

Code: Select all

!c:\windows
