yes he is always reply very fast !
so good

he release a alpha version, im asking him if i can share with u :slight_smile:
he said

“The newest sideload version has feature to search in an Explorer
window
if you’d like to test that.”

lets see

ok i share with u the last information. tell me if u want me to give u update or not :slight_smile:

Fluent Search - OneDrive
u can find the last version of this app, the frst files changelogs.md explain all
he is working on a auto update process.

The first is “Process Search” - with it you search inside any process
(not only explorer) for files, UI elements, links, etc.
The process search will search in the currently focused process, so if
an explorer window is in focus it will search in it for files (even in
subdirectories) and once you focus a result it will show in the explorer
window.

The second feature is “Instant Search” - with it you can search in
Fluent Search without pressing any hotkey, it is configurable per
process name (In Settings -> Process Search / Advanced enabled).
Once enabled for a specific process, once you are in focus on that
process, you are not focusing textboxes/search bars, and you start
typing, it will start searching in Fluent Search immediately.

If you combine these two features, you can achieve similar experience to
Listary’s immediate search in explorer.

Another feature that might catch your interest is “Context”, which uses
the default hotkey “Ctrl+Shift+C” to copy the context of the currently
focused process to the clipboard. For example - in explorer the context
will be the file path, and, in the browser, it will be the URL.

here :slight_smile:

concerning point 1, the app now comes in .exe form in the latest alpha(currently 0.9.62.5 which is available from the OneDrive link @kwanice posted here) still no portable option though.

for point 3. Fluent Search’s Files search could be of benefit since it uses either Windows Indexer or Everything to search your computer. so if you have a folder with program shortcuts, they’ll be available in Fluent Search.

Try Microsoft PowerToys, it does the same thing and much more…

Yes powertoys is good BUT it dont use everything for finding files

powertoys…could be good…
but so slow!!
and u dont have all the feature of listary…
=> not usable for now

If someone can answer this :smile:

• Does FluentSearch currently works with all windows exporer or it’s just planned for future versions?
• Does it allow to retrieve last visited folder when we switch window/program (one of the best feature of Listary)?
• Does it list options based on historical usage (listary does it)?

I’m contented with Listary Beta now since it does the job, but I’ll sure consider FluentSearch if Listary ever gets depreciated. I’m glad I keep coming to this forum!

=> plan for future update

• Does it allow to retrieve last visited folder when we switch window/program (one of the best feature of Listary)?
=> we have to request to the dev

• Does it list options based on historical usage (listary does it)?

=> yes, fluent search learn from your usage

i sent an email to Channing,
and all i got from the email reply is that Listary is not abandoned.

I tried to ask for a release date for an update or final version; but sadly there was no reply.

i hope that someone could help with an alternative; since the developer is not willing to support!!!

good to know :slight_smile:
but for now its working…but honestly when i see what i can do with fluent search…
and the reactivity of the dev, its just amazing…
since i start using it, he made maybe 10 update…
now its the version 9.65.5, he just told me that the next big release the 9.70.x, will have drag and drop and the searchbox in the “save as” box :))))))))))

the new website to download his app
App Center
go in settings/general/system and select beta :slight_smile:

hi kwanice

can u ask the dev [fluent search] to add these listary features:

  • Find as You Type
  • Access from Anywhere
  • popup menu

What do you mean by
Find as u type? Like instant search? => u have inside
Accessed from anywhere? U mean in “save as” windows box for example? => next release
Pop-up menu? Hum…can u explain how?
