BUG: Everything Service is not running

[Flowting007]

Checks

• [X] I have checked that this issue has not already been reported.

Problem Description

For the explorer plugin, I am unable to set my index search engine, content search engine, and dictionary recursive search engine to everything. When I do so, it states "everything service is not running".

I just want to be able to access google drive files using flow launcher and I don't exactly know how. Please help, that would be kindly appreciated. Thank you!

iirc this is not supported, neither from windows indexing nor from everything, because google drive uses a virtual filesystem for the local files

It can if the drive is mapped through C:\Users\USER\My Drive. I can search my GD through this path (but not the virtual G drive it also creates).

Hello, new user here. I apologise in advance if this was reported already, i tried finding the same issue, and i think this is the same one, except i actually tried to install the Everything service through the Flow launcher, clicking "No" to automatically download and install it. Then the Flow crashed.

Update: I don't know what i did, but i opened the Flow to search something, and Everything works now. Go figure. I'll answer any question or give any info if someone wants to resolve these errors in the future.
