`-instance 1.5a`	Connect to Everything 1.5a instance
`-double-quote`	Wrap paths/filenames in double quotes
`-size`	Show file size column
`-dc`	Show date created column
`-dm`	Show date modified column
`-csv`	Output in CSV format for easy parsing

`"report.pdf"`	Find files containing "report.pdf"
`ext:py`	All Python files
`ext:jpg;png`	JPG or PNG files
`size:>1gb`	Files larger than 1GB
`dm:today`	Modified today
`!venv`	Exclude "venv"

Workflows

Find files by extension in a project

.\es.exe "ext:py" -path "C:\projects\myapp" -instance 1.5a -double-quote -size -dc -dm -csv

Find large files sorted by size

.\es.exe "size:>1gb" -instance 1.5a -double-quote -size -dc -dm -csv -sort size -sort-descending

Find recently modified files

.\es.exe "dm:thisweek" -instance 1.5a -double-quote -size -dc -dm -csv

Export results to file

.\es.exe "ext:jpg" -path "C:\Photos" -export-csv "C:\output\photos.csv" -instance 1.5a -no-header

Exclude patterns

.\es.exe "ext:py !venv !__pycache__" -instance 1.5a -double-quote -size -dc -dm -csv

Error Handling

If ES returns a non-zero exit code, check references/ERROR-CODES.md. The most common error is code 8 — Everything is not running.
