EverythingToolbar is a Windows taskbar integration that brings instant file search powered by Everything directly into your taskbar.
The tool solves the problem of accessing fast file search without leaving the taskbar or opening a separate window. It integrates Everything's search engine into the Windows taskbar as either a native search box on Windows 11 or a compact icon that opens a search window. The integration adapts to your system theme automatically and supports custom search filters synchronized from Everything itself, along with regex-based file actions for advanced automation.
Developers and power users who rely on Everything for fast file indexing should consider this if they want search accessible from the taskbar without context switching. It suits Windows 10 and 11 environments where taskbar real estate is valuable. The tool offers particular value for users who need quick access to custom filters or want to automate file operations based on file type patterns. On Windows 11, it embeds directly into the native taskbar search box, while Windows 10 users can use it as a deskband with compatibility tools like ExplorerPatcher or StartAllBack.
The project shows consistent maintenance with regular updates addressing user-reported issues and feature requests. Development includes active internationalization efforts with translations maintained across multiple languages. The maintainer engages directly with the community through issue responses and incorporates feedback into new releases. Feature additions reflect user needs, such as regex-powered custom actions and QuickLook integration for file previews.
