;;
;; NEW: SUPPORT COMMANDLINE INTERFACE ES.EXE
;;
;; Everything is a very fast and lightweight desktop search-engine
;; for MS Windows for finding files scattered around your hard discs
;; (see http://www.voidtools.com).
;; The package everything.el provides a simple interface to access
;; Everything's search power via its command line interface 'es.exe'
;; or its ftp interface.
;;
;; Everything.el can also integrate itself into find-file-at-point
;; aka ffap. So, whenever all other methods of ffap fail, let everything
;; try finding the file at point. Best used in combination with
;; the exquisite Icicles package.
;;
;; Everything.el supports the following search patterns:
;;
;; + wildcards
;;
;; + boolean operators
;;
;; + case matching
;;
;; + whole words matching
;;
;; + full path matching
;;
;;; Installation:
;;
;; Features that are required: `cl'.
;; Features that are recommended: `ffap', `icicles'.
;;
;;
;; Basic steps to setup:
;;
;; (add-to-list 'load-path "~/path/to/everything.el")
;; (setq everything-ffap-integration nil) ;; to disable ffap integration
;; (setq everything-cmd "c:/path/to/your/es.exe") ;; to let everything.el know where to find es.exe
;; (require 'everything)
;;
;;
;; Alternatively use the package archive at http://marmalade-repo.org
;; and find everything.el via M-x list-packages.
;;
;;
;; Interesting variables:
;;
;; `everything-query-limit' defaults to #xffffffff for the maximum number of returned filenames
;; `everything-ffap-integration' flag to integrate everything into ffap, defaults to t
;; `everything-cmd' Path to Everythings commandline interface es.exe
;;
;; If you want the ftp interface, you are interested in:
;;
;; `everything-use-ftp' Use the ftp interface instead of the commandline interface, defaults to nil
;; `everything-host' defaults to 127.0.0.1
;; `everything-port' defaults to 21
;; `everything-user' defaults to anonymous
;; `everything-pass' defaults to nil
;;
;;
;; Interactive commands are:
;;
;; M-x everything
;;
;; Prompts for a query and let you choose
;; one of the files returned by Everything and opens it.
;;
;; M-x everything-toggle-case
;;
;; Toggle case-(in)sensitive matching.
;;
;; M-x everything-toggle-wholeword
;;
;; Toggle matching whole words.
;;
;; M-x everything-toggle-path
;;
;; Toggle including the path.
;;
;;
;; Todo:
;; + support changing matching-options (toggle-xyz) via shortcuts while typing
;; the query in the minibuffer
;; + support limiting the search to a specific sub-directory (and/or sub-directories?)
;; while typing the query
;; + integrate icicle-define-command to be able to use icicles action subsystem
