Extension respects Result Omission in Everything 1.5a

[dreadbalaur]

Everything 1.5a introduces Result Omission, which is similar to Result Exclusion except for one key feature: the results are still indexed, just hidden, so they can be toggled quickly if I want to expand my search to the excluded directories. The current extension recognizes Exclusion, but not Omission. It would be useful if EPT can detect this setting and omit results similarly.

I am still checking in CmdPal development from time to time, but have not migrated over from Run yet. You can incorporate this suggestion for the CmdPal version if you are not interested in working on the Run version any longer.

Did a quick look at this feature:

Result omissions are applied at the database level

Based on this, it should already work, EPT just packages queries for everything to execute, or are you saying there should be a toggle button/macro in EPT?

Everything 1.5 SDK doesn't list this feature, so I'm not sure I'm able to manipulate omission via the SDK.

Hi, Lin! Thanks for the plugin. I was about to outline a separate post, but probably that would be redundant —  could you please make a separate “exclude mask” option? I still what to have all the results in Everything, but not in the Run.

My case: if I search for an artist name in the Run, the first results would be URLs from the Firefox cash, which are easily filtered by the +++ mask

From my initial testing, it doesn't work. As soon as I turn off the exclusion list EPT will return with the omitted result.

With Index -> Enable Result Omissions.

With Options -> Indexes -> Exclude -> Enable exclude list

The SDK lists this feature under Everything3_SetSearchHideResultOmissions.

in your opinion, how should this feature be toggled via EPT?
toggle in settings, custom keyword, or something else?
Ideally I would want to implment some buttons on the right of the search query, but that's not a feature of PTR

[dreadbalaur]

I would say custom keyword so I can choose to toggle it while typing the search query.
