v1.4.1

Fixes

• A search that started while the one-time HTTP enable was restarting the Everything GUI could block on dead IPC and time out on machines where Everything runs as a lone GUI process (no background service — e.g. CI runners). es.exe spawns and the HTTP enable now share a serialization gate: queries queue behind the restart instead of racing it.

v1.4.0 — HTTP fast channel

What's new

• HTTP fast channel: searches are served by Everything's built-in HTTP JSON server on 127.0.0.1 — no per-call es.exe spawn, native UTF-8, exact totals for free. Auto-enabled once per session (Everything ships it policy-locked; the plugin patches both Everything.ini files, binds loopback only, and restarts the GUI). Optional Basic auth via httpUsername/httpPassword; httpPort: 0 disables the channel. es.exe remains the fallback for dateCreated, extra sort keys, and regex + path/type-filter combos.
• exactTotal (default true): false skips the count round-trip on full pages and reports a ≥N lower bound.
• Observable output: results now carry channel (http/es), totalExact, and notes with query-interpretation remarks.
• Whole-query quoted phrases containing spaces are auto-converted to an equivalent regex (previously silent AND-degradation).

Fixes

• No event-loop blocking while waiting out the es.exe export flush race; a missing/empty export falls back to decoded stdout instead of a fake empty page.
• A non-existent path is rejected up front (ES_INVALID_ARGS) instead of "no matches".
• truncated is true whenever a full page has an inexact total.

v1.3.1

Fixed

• Multi-word queries silently returned 0 results: the whole query string was passed to es.exe as ONE argument (matched literally). Queries are now tokenized into per-term arguments, restoring AND semantics. See README quirks for phrase details.
• Non-ASCII file names came back as mojibake: results are now read from es.exe UTF-8 -export-json output (GBK console fallback kept for older es builds).

v1.3.0

What's new

• countOnly - return just the total match count in one round-trip; the fastest way to check whether files exist or estimate volume.
• dateCreated - include each result's creation date alongside size and date modified.
• ES CLI self-update - the plugin keeps its self-installed es.exe current against the pinned known-good release. User-managed installs are never touched.
• Tool description now documents Everything search syntax, the dedicated path parameter (more reliable than inline path:), and the NTFS/reFS coverage limit.

Fixes

• Background provisioning probe could log a spurious "auto-install failed" warning on auto-installed setups (it used the pre-resolution esPath).
• Backend recovery (auto-install / auto-start retry) now covers the count-only path too.
