Agreed, Everything is quite a little gem. With 10 physical drives
attached to my main computer, (6 internal and 4 external), totaling
around 18 Terabytes of storage, there's no way I can remember where
everything is, so Everything really comes to the rescue.
I've been using it frequently since installing it, and the only
problem I had was that it 'forgot' about one of the drives at one
point, so I disabled and re-enabled USN logging on that drive, fixing
the issue for a few days. When the same drive again fell out of the
database a few days later, I followed the troubleshooting FAQ and
deleted the Everything database. The database was immediately rebuilt,
and everything has been fine for the last couple of weeks. That step
sounds drastic, but even with 10 drives nearly full, it rebuilds the
database in a minute or so. Pretty amazing tool.
