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.

Everything listens to the NTFS metadata change and so there is no neeed for a rebuild to get changes shown in the search:

1.5 Does "Everything" monitor file system changes?

Yes, "Everything" does monitor file system changes. Your search windows will reflect changes made to the file system.
