Everything

.NET Core library for searching through Voidtool's Everything

⚠️ This is a very early preview. Consider using EverythingNET for your production needs

Async high level client

Intutive, thread safe, search

var client = new EverythingClient();
var result = await client.SearchAsync("tickets.pdf");
var files = result.Items.OfType<FileResultItem>();

foreach (var file in files)
{
    var fileName = file.Name;
    var size = file.Size;
    var created = file.Created;
}

Get more control by providing SearchOptions and CancellationToken to the search:

var options = new SearchOptions
{
    MatchCase = true,
    RequestFlags = RequestFlags.FileName,
    Sort = Sort.DateModifiedDescending
};

Out of the box query builder for Everything's search syntax

var executables = await client.SearchAsync(q => q
    .Executables("everything")
    .OfLargeSize()
    .Modified("2018"));

var pictures = await client.SearchAsync(q => q
    .Pictures("xmas")
    .OfAnySize()
    .CreatedAt(new DateTime(2017, 12, 24)));

Low level SDK

Not a fan of the high levevl client? Build one yourself by using LowLevelSdk (the unaltered methods provided by everythings SDK) or EverythingSdk which is the same, but with .NET-like method names

EverythingSdk.Search = query;
EverythingSdk.MatchCase = true;
EverythingSdk.Query(wait: true);
EverythingSdk.TryGetSize(1, out var size);

⚠️ The SDK is not threadsafe and only support one active search at the time.
