If bWait is FALSE you must call Everything_SetReplyWindow before calling Everything_Query. Use the Everything_IsQueryReply function to check for query replies.
Optionally call the following functions to set the search state before calling Everything_Query:
You can mix ANSI / Unicode version of Everything_SetSearch and Everything_Query.
The ANSI / Unicode version of Everything_Query MUST match the ANSI / Unicode version of Everything_GetResultName and Everything_GetResultPath.

The default state is as follows:
See Everything_Reset for the default search state.
// set the search text to abc AND 123
Everything_SetSearch("abc 123");
// enable case sensitive searching.
Everything_SetMatchCase(TRUE);
// execute the query
Everything_Query(TRUE);
