Everything
A lightweight Windows file finder built around instant name search.
Everything is a desktop utility from voidtools for finding local files and folders by filename. It builds a small, fast index, updates results as the filesystem changes, and is offered in installer and portable builds, including a newer beta branch.
Why it stands out
- Focuses narrowly on filename search, which helps keep it much faster than general desktop search suites.
- Offers portable ZIP builds as first-class downloads, not just a secondary workaround.
- Maintains a stable release and a separately labeled beta line for users who want newer features cautiously.
- Publishes SHA256 hashes and version histories, useful for verification and controlled software deployment.
Good to know
- Search is presented around file and folder names, not full document-content indexing.
- The 1.5 release is explicitly labeled beta, so conservative users may prefer the stable 1.4 build.
- It is downloadable desktop software, not a web-based file search service.
Under the radar: Use the Portable ZIP download when evaluating it on a work machine; it lets you test the search behavior before deciding whether to install the regular build.

Windows power users and IT support staff who need near-instant filename lookup across large local drives. Find a misplaced file or folder when you remember only part of its name. Run a portable copy from a ZIP download on a machine where you do not want a full install. Compare the stable 1.4 release with the separate 1.5 beta before deploying it broadly.
