Windows – How to force Everything search engine to re-index

everythingfile searchsearchwindows 7

I used Everything for searching files on Windows 7. I made many changes in the file system based on the results (deleting and renaming specific files), and I want to check if I covered all the files I have been looking for. Therefore, I need Everything to re-index and give me new results. However, I have not found any option for this on its menus or on its website.

Thanks.

I know this is an old question but this answer can help. There is an option to force rebuilding indexes.

  1. Launch Everything, then on the menu bar click on Tools -> Options.
  2. On the window that open, on the left pane, click on Indexes.
  3. On the right pane, click on "Force Rebuild" button.
