Download here:

https://www.voidtools.com/Everything-1.4.1.988.x86-Setup.exe

After installation, you must add the locations/drive to search.
Under [Tools], select “Everything options” and then select “Indexes \ Folders” on the left.

Add the network drives if needed, as shown in the picture.

I:  \\corp-storage\Images

K:  \\corp-storage\imagesactive

S:  \\corp-storage\shared

Please note that the “match case” setting is not on, or it will not return results because it will look for exact matching, including capitalization, punctuation, etc.

Also, make sure “EVERYTHING” is selected under the Search option.

After the initial lengthy scan, it should be able to find any matches in about a second for your search term.
