~~Title: Search Field~~
== Directory Opus 13 - Detailed release notes ==
<pageheader/>

  * The search field, normally at the Lister's top right, now supports multiple methods: 		
    * Windows Search -- As in Opus 12.
    * Everything search -- If Voidtools Everything (see [[release_history:opus13_detailed:everything|separate section]]) is installed, you can use it for an indexed search on the current folder.
    * Global Everything search -- Similar to Everything search, but searches all indexed folders on the entire machine.
    * Opus search -- You can now use Opus's own Find Files functionality from the Search Field, without opening the larger Find panel: 				
      * If a plain string or a wildcard is entered, it will be treated as a wildcard name match.
      * If a string beginning with `=` is entered, it'll be processed by the Evaluator and can perform more complex queries (e.g. =size>100kb).

  * Click the magnifying glass icon on the left to open a menu where you can change search engine.
  * The menu for changing search engines also lets you configure various options for each one (e.g. case sensitive, partial match, content searching). Each search engine has slightly different options.
  * The last chosen search engine is remembered automatically. 		
    * You set the search field's arguments to (e.g.) `everything` to make it always switch to that mode in new windows.

  * Search field has a history menu on the right, with a Clear History option at the bottom of the menu.
  * Suggestions based on search history will appear as you type into the search field. (Add `noautocomplete` to the field's arguments if you don't like them appearing.)
  * Commands: 		
    * `Find` and similar commands let a search engine be specified and support options as part of the command line.
    * Example, Windows search: `QUERYENGINE="windows,nqs,noautowildcard,nohistory"`
    * Example, Everything: `QUERYENGINE="everything,case,wholeword,regex,diacritics"`
