🛠️ Configuration

Configure Everything search on local file-system

Search files & folders on your local Windows file system using Everything CLI.

• Everything CLI Path: Custom path to es.exe (leave empty to use system PATH)
• File Explorer Command: Custom file manager command (use %s as path placeholder)
• Default Action: Choose between opening files or folders as primary action
• Default Sort: Choose default sorting method for search results
• Search Threshold: Minimum characters required before search starts (default: 3)

Configure Everything search on servers (ETP/FTP)

Search files & folders on multiple Windows Everything ETP/FTP servers from Raycast.

1. Enable Tools > Options > ETP/FTP Server in Everything on your Windows computers.
2. Configure the servers in the extension settings (see below).
3. Use search-servers command followed by the mask. (this command is disabled by default)

Configure the servers in the extension settings using the following format:

[
  {
    "name": "Server 1",
    "host": "server-url",
    "port": 21,
    "user": "username",
    "pass": "password"
  },
  {
    "name": "Server 2",
    "host": "server-url",
    "port": 21,
    "user": "username",
    "pass": "password"
  }
]

📝 Notes

The extension leverages Everything CLI's powerful search capabilities, so in theory, every es.exe command-line argument for filtering should work through the search interface.
