What

EverythingNet is a C# library that wraps the great library from voidtools name SearchEverything. This library let you search for files, folders and more incredibly fast. For more information jump to the official page

Why

EverythingNet provides a simple .NET api to search for file using indexing. The wrapped library doesn't not rely on Windows Search but on a specific service which is super light and super fast.

How

The library exposes a fluent API that ease access to specific search functions.

1. Logic

Everything everything = new Everything();
var searchResult = everything.Search()
 .Name("Report")
 .Or()
 .Name("Results");

Everything everything = new Everything();
var searchResult = everything.Search()
 .Not.Name("temp")
 .And()
 .Not.Name("tmp");

2. Name

Everything everything = new Everything();
var searchResult = everything.Search()
 .Name()
 .StartWith("progra");

Everything everything = new Everything();
var searchResult = everything.Search()
 .Name()
 .EndstWith("result");

Everything everything = new Everything();
var searchResult = everything
 .Name()
 .Extensions(new string[] {"csproj", "cs", "xaml"});

3. Date

Everything everything = new Everything();
var searchResult = everything.Search()
 .ModificationDate() // Can be AccessDate, RunDate, CreationDate
 .Equal(Dates.Today);  // Can be many many values !

Everything everything = new Everything();
var searchResult = everything.Search()
 .CreationDate()
 .Before(Dates.Yesterday);

Everything everything = new Everything();
var searchResult = everything.Search()
 .CreationDate()
 .Equal(Dates.ThisMonth);

Everything everything = new Everything();
var searchResult = everything.Search()
 .CreationDate()
 .Last(Dates.Week);

Everything everything = new Everything();
var searchResult = everything.Search()
 .AccessDate()
 .Between(Dates.LastWeek, Dates.ThisWeek);

4. File size

Everything everything = new Everything();
var searchResult = everything.Search()
 .Size()
 .Equal(100); // By default the unit is kb

Everything everything = new Everything();
var searchResult = everything.Search()
 .Size()
 .GreaterThan(100, SizeUnit.Mb); // Unit is optional

Everything everything = new Everything();
var searchResult = everything.Search()
 .Size()
 .Between(100, 200, SizeUnit.Mb); // Unit is optional

5. Music files

Everything everything = new Everything();
var searchResult = everything.Search()
 .Music()
 .Artist("RadioHead");

Everything everything = new Everything();
var searchResult = everything.Search()
 .Music()
 .Genre("Rock");

Everything everything = new Everything();
var searchResult = everything.Search()
 .Music()
 .Artist("RadioHead")
 .Album("Pablo Honey")
 .Track().Between(1, 3);

6. File info

Everything everything = new Everything();
var searchResult = everything
 .File()
 .Only();

Everything everything = new Everything();
var searchResult = everything
 .File()
 .Audio(); // Can be zip, video, picture, executable, document

Everything everything = new Everything();
var searchResult = everything
 .File()
 .Extension("csproj");

Roadmap

The fluent API provides specific methods to easily handle

• thread safety
• logical operators
• file size
• picture files (standard format and properties)
• music files (ID3 Tags)
• file dates
• file content (soon)
