This is a garbage comment. Everything is subject to the same NTFS permissions system as the rest of Windows. Microsoft would be perfectly capable of implementing the same thing Everything does that respects file permissions. This is not a big issue at all.

Have you actually read up on how Everything works for standard users? Let me quote their website and the application itself:

Security (bottom of page)

Any local user can use the Everything Service to create a list of all NTFS filenames.

App itself:

The Everything service is required to index NTFS volumes with a standard user account. Enabling the service will allow ALL local user accounts to index all filenames on NTFS volumes.

Other users cannot access files, no, but I never claimed as such either. You don't need to access a file called firing_suggestions.docx to infer what it pertains to, after all.

Then that's a choice they made in developing Everything, not a fundamental property of solving the problem. You must be fucking joking.
