Everything search doesn't work from Toolbar

Post by Native2904 »

Hi,

I'm trying to create a toolbar button that searches a selected word in Everything.

However, I can’t figure out what the parameter for a selected word is — or how to pass a selected word at all.

Chatgpt say something like this:$(WORDSEL)

Code: Select all

"Search in Everything..." Exec('"C:\Everything\Everything.exe" -s "$(WORDSEL)"') Icon("C:\Everything\Icons\Magnifier.ico")
but the highlighted word isn't entered into the search bar; instead $(WORDSEL)

Does anyone have an idea what might be wrong?
