After installation and running the app for the first time, Everything creates an index of the names of every file and folder on the volume from the file metadata in the NTFS Master File Table. As all mounted NTFS volumes are indexed, it is continually updated by the app from the NTFS change journal. Everything then searches this index for file names matching your search terms and parameters.
The only downside to using Everything is that because it relies on the change journal, Everything can only search NTFS volumes, therefore it can’t be used to locate files on a USB flash drive, for instance.
