everything-ipc

Rust port of voidtools' Everything's IPC SDK. Can be used to search user files quickly.

Features

• Support both Everything v1.4 and v1.5, including Alpha version.
• Higher performance than Everything v1.4's official SDK:
  • Hot query time is about 30% shorter.
  • Sending blocking time is 60% shorter for async queries.
• Support both sync and async (Tokio) querying.
• Search text generating utilities.
• Folder-based batch IPC and cache.

See documentation for details.

Usage

// cargo add everything-ipc
use everything_ipc::wm::{EverythingClient, RequestFlags, Sort};

let everything = EverythingClient::new().expect("not available");

let list = everything
    .query_wait(r"C:\Windows\ *.exe")
    .request_flags(RequestFlags::FileName | RequestFlags::Size | RequestFlags::Path)
    .sort(Sort::SizeDescending)
    .max_results(10)
    .call()
    .expect("query");

println!("Found {} items:", list.len());
println!("{:<25} {:>10}  {}", "Filename", "Size", "Path");
for item in list.iter() {
    // get_string() for String, get_str() for &U16CStr
    let filename = item.get_string(RequestFlags::FileName).unwrap();
    let path = item.get_str(RequestFlags::Path).unwrap().display();
    let size = item.get_size(RequestFlags::Size).unwrap();
    println!("{:<25} {:>10}  {}", filename, size, path);
}
println!("Total: {} items", list.total_len());
