PowerShell wrapper for Everything. Instantly search for files on local and remote (via REST API) Windows systems.

PSEverything

PowerShell wrapper for Everything. Instantly search for files on local and remote Windows systems for output in PSObject format.

3 ways of data retrieval are implemented:

• ✅ Remote via REST API
• ✅ Locally via .NET library (source everythingio)
• ✅ Locally via ES (Command-line Interface)

🚀 Install

You need to install the Everything program (a portable version is present) and wait for the local database to be indexed after the first run.

Use the NuGet package manager:

Install-Module PSEverything -Repository NuGet

💡 You must have a NuGet repository registered:

Register-PSRepository -Name "NuGet" -SourceLocation "https://www.nuget.org/api/v2" -InstallationPolicy Trusted

When using PSEverything module for the first time, be sure to start Everything to save the path to the executable process in the configuration file. This is necessary for those cases when you do not have Everything configured to start automatically after a system reboot or the process has terminated for some reason.
