Actually Everything also uses NTFS Master File Table
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Everything_(software)
Everything may use MFT what we said is Everything also depends on indexed files and folders it creates, here ULtraSearch doesn’t index any files or folders.
OK, thanks for clarification
Is this faster than Everything?
I have been using Everything. But in Windows 7 you always need to click on the UAC nag screen. That’s the only issue I have with Everything…
