EvEx (IbEverythingExt) is a plugin for the voidtools Everything search utility on Windows that adds Chinese pinyin search, Japanese romaji search, wildcard search, quick select keyboard navigation, and Windows Explorer shell extensions like folder size columns. It is written in C++ and distributed as a DLL that hooks into Everything v1.4/v1.5.

Use cases

• search files by Chinese pinyin in Everything
• search files by Japanese romaji reading
• use wildcard patterns in Everything search
• quickly select search results with keyboard shortcuts
• show folder sizes in Explorer
• use Everything as a quick launcher
• support pinyin search in third-party launchers that use Everything

When to choose

• you use voidtools Everything and search for CJK filenames via pinyin or romaji
• you want keyboard-driven quick selection of Everything results
• you want folder size display integrated into Windows Explorer

When to avoid

• you don't use Everything as your file search tool
• you need a cross-platform search solution (Windows-only)
• you use Everything Lite or versions that block DLL hijacking
