The utools plug-in is used to provide a similar search experience on macOS to the Everything plug-in in Windows. The plug-in is based on the mdfind command, mdfind builds the index based on Spotlight. Therefore, if Spotlight is disabled, the plug-in will not be available. The plug-in can be regarded as A package of Spotlight file search, using Spotlight directly should have the same effect, but all in one is always more comfortable.
In addition, to popularize science, Everything implements real-time search based on the characteristics of the NTFS file system. It is difficult to achieve the speed of Everything on macOS, so the plug-in directly uses "turn-based search" (that is, you need to press Enter after completing the input Start the search again) instead of "real-time search". Anyway, I can't do it and just give up.

There are two quick searches that come with the plug-in: searching for folders only and searching for files only. To search for folders only, you only need to add a space at the front of the input box.
To search for files only , you only need to add two spaces at the beginning of the input box.
You can customize your own quick search in the settings. The customized quick search uses regular expressions to match the full path of the search results. The full path means a single line of text that includes the complete path and file name, such as /Users/lanyuanxiaoyao/Library/Mobile Documents/iCloud~QReader~MarginStudy/Documents/Head First Java 第二版.pdf , this is the full path of this PDF file, A custom quick search will match such text.
An example will be used to illustrate below. If I want to filter out picture files in the search results, I can add: pic&png|jpg|jpeg|bmp|svg|webp$ in the custom quick search, with & as the delimiter. , pic is the keyword used in quick search, .(png|jpg|jpeg|bmp|svg|webp)$ is the regular expression used in quick search
After the addition is completed, you can use this quick search when searching. As shown in the figure below, enter pic:icon in the input box and all pictures with "icon" will be searched.
I won’t go into details about the rules of regular expressions. You can read them on Baidu yourself.
It is worth mentioning that the default quick search and customized quick search can be used in combination
The so-called advanced queries are some advanced queries supported by the mdfind command itself, such as mdfind "kMDItemContentType=public.folder" , but to be fair, these keywords are really...hard to describe in one sentence, so you can find these advanced usages by yourself.
Currently, text files, pictures and folders can be previewed
