Frequently asked questions

What dependencies are needed on each platform?

Windows requires the Everything utility and the Everything SDK DLL (set via `EVERYTHING_SDK_PATH`). Linux needs `locate` or `plocate` with an updated database. macOS requires no additional setup.

How do I search by full path instead of filename?

Set the optional parameter `match_path` to `true` in the search tool call.

What search syntax is supported on Windows?

Windows supports full Everything SDK features, including operators like `ext:`, `datemodified:`, and `path:`. See the `SEARCH_SYNTAX.md` file for details.

What is the maximum number of results I can request?

The default is 100, and the maximum allowed is 1000. Use the `max_results` parameter.

Can I use regular expressions in my search?

Yes. Set the `match_regex` parameter to `true` to enable regex search.
