Changelog

You can now index network and removable volumes for File Search.

Simply add them to the Search Scope in File Search Settings, and they will be automatically indexed. You can toggle deleting files in these volumes from the index when the volumes are disconnected via the “Keep Files from Removed Volumes” setting.

When indexing, local and non-removable volumes are indexed first, followed by network volumes and finally by removable volumes.

This enables extending File Search for cloud storage services that expose storage as a network mount, like Filen.io.

💎 Improvements

• File Search: Directories matching a query ending with a slash will now rank higher than their children.
