Cataloging drives and folders
Network shares are a different problem from removable archives, and Catalog v1 keeps that boundary clear.
Catalog v1 is designed for chosen local folders and physical drives. Network volumes are not automatically cataloged, and the v1 design reserves network-share scheduling and live updates for a later version. If you need network search today, use the server’s own indexing tools or connect and work within the supported local scope rather than assuming a network folder is archived.
Open Catalog… from Everywhere’s menu bar item and add the drive or folder that matters. Let the first catalogue finish, then search by filename and browse the recorded folder tree. When the source is disconnected, the catalogue remains available and results are labelled offline so you know why opening the file requires reconnecting the drive.
Keep the original drive unchanged, use a clear catalogue name, and rescan after a large round of changes. Catalogues are for the places you choose; they do not silently turn a whole-Mac search into a second scan.
No. Network volumes are excluded from the automatic prompt.
Rescan schedules and network-share support are candidates for v2, not promises of the current build.
Everywhere keeps track of every file on your Mac — including the folders Spotlight hides and drives you have unplugged. Free for a day, then $19 once.
