Installation methods

1. WinGet (Recommended) : winget install lin-ycv.EverythingPowerToys
   • winget comes preinstalled with Windows 11 and Windows 10 version 1809+
   • winget dependencies will check for .NET8 and Powertoys
   • the installer may be reported as a false positive by some AV; the source for the installer is publicly available, if you still have concerns, use method 2 or 4.

   Everything is NOT listed as a dependency, as you can choose to use either
   1.4 : winget install voidtools.Everything
   or 1.5a : winget install voidtools.Everything.Alpha

2. Chocolatey : choco install everythingpowertoys
   • Chocolatey needs to be installed seperately
   • chocolately dependencies will only check for Everything 1.4, as 1.5a is not available on chocolatey, and the PowerToys chocolately package does not install when listed as a dependency (#55)
3. Self-Extraction Installer (EXE):
   • To reduce the file size (few hundred kb vs few hundred mb), it is not self-contained, meaning your computer needs to have .NET 8 Desktop Runtime installed for the exe to execute.
   • You should see a console with messages when it executes properly, if it flash exits, you're missing .NET 8
   • When executed sucessfully, it will automatically do the 3 steps of the manual installation
4. Manual Installation (ZIP):
   1. Exit Powertoys
   2. Extract the folder in the zip file to %LOCALAPPDATA%\Microsoft\PowerToys\PowerToys Run\Plugins
   3. Restart PowerToys

Plugin settings for Everything in PT Run will show up at the bottom instead of the usual position at the top.

For methods 3 and 4, both Everything and PowerToys needs to be installed seperately
*This plugin does not work with the lite version of Everything, lite does not support IPC
if you are on 1.5 alpha, you need to Disable alpha Instance, read #74 (comment)
if you're on ARM, read this: #45 (comment)

Full Changelog:

• Added option to expand Enviroment Variables
  • Requires some additional time to expand the variable, feature disabled by default
• Resolved issue #70 where result will be incorrect if an Everything filter is used, but it's not a file type filter
  • This fix changes the parsing behaviour slightly, file type filter used to work anywhere in the query, it now has to be at the start of the query
    • Example: pic: size:<2mb demo and pic: demo will work as expected, but size:<2mb pic: demo or demo pic: will not work
• Some minor code refactoring

the included Everything64.dll is the official dll from VoidTools
