EverythingSharp

A simple C# wrapper around the Everything SDK from Voidtools.

Requirements

Everything must be installed and running.

Usage

The preferred way to use EverythingSharp is to use the fluent API:

using (EverythingSearcher everything = new EverythingSearcher())
{
    IEnumerable<EverythingEntry> results = everything
        .SearchFor("Visual Studio")
        .OrderBy(Sort.NameAscending)
        .WithResultLimit(10)
        .WithOffset(0)
        .GetFields(RequestFlags.FullPathAndFileName | RequestFlags.RunCount)
        .Execute();
}

The calls to OrderBy, WithResultLimit, WithOffset, and GetFields are all optional. If omitted, the default values used when searching are:
OrderBy defaults to Sort.NameAscending.
WithResultLimit defaults to no limit.
WithOffset defaults to no offset.
GetFields defaults to RequestFlags.FullPathAndFileName.

There's an older way to search, which should be avoided, but is kept for backwards compabatility:

using(var everything = new Everything())
{
    var query = "Chrome";
    var maxResults = 10;
    var offset = 0;
    var sorting = Sort.SizeDescending;
    var fields = RequestFlags.FullPathAndFileName | RequestFlags.Size;
    
    var results = everything.Search(query, maxResults, offset, sorting, fields);   
}
