NeeView EverythingSearch v0.1.0

This is the first preview release of NeeView Everything Search, an unofficial modified build of NeeView with optional voidtools Everything IPC-backed file search.

Important Notice

This is not an official NeeView release. It is not endorsed, certified, or maintained by the original NeeView author or by voidtools. Please report issues for this modified build to this repository, not to upstream NeeView or voidtools.

Base NeeView

  • Upstream repository: https://github.com/neelabo/NeeView
  • Upstream base commit: 8710021913e05e5e824692b30db419e68e55d6f
  • Nearest upstream tag recorded during preparation: 46.0-beta.1
  • Release branch commit: �393309318e274731f0d1c12183e06845c880a57

What Changed

  • Added an optional Everything IPC-backed search provider for the bookshelf folder list.
  • Added fallback to the standard NeeView search when Everything IPC is unavailable, unsupported, disabled, or returns an error.
  • Added tests for query construction, result parsing, availability checks, cancellation, malformed replies, empty results, large result sets, and fallback behavior.
  • Added preview documentation and a portable release package layout.

Requirements

  • Windows 10 64-bit or later.
  • voidtools Everything installed separately if you want the accelerated search path.
  • Everything IPC must be available for the Everything-backed provider to be used.

Everything itself is not bundled in this ZIP. No Everything executable or Everything SDK DLL is included.

How To Start

  1. Download NeeView-EverythingSearch-v0.1.0-win-x64.zip and NeeView-EverythingSearch-v0.1.0-win-x64.zip.sha256.
  2. Verify the SHA-256 checksum.
  3. Extract the ZIP to an empty folder.
  4. Start the app with Launch-NeeView-Everything.cmd.

The launcher sets a portable Profile folder beside the extracted app. If you start NeeView.exe directly, the profile location may differ depending on the settings and environment, so use Launch-NeeView-Everything.cmd for this preview package.

  • Upstream third-party notices are included in the ZIP.
