This evidence comes from the upstream catalog. This site has not installed, run, or security-reviewed the plugin.

Install

Start with a prompt that asks an agent to review the GitHub repository and source. Switch to the command if you want to install it yourself.

Copy this prompt into DSH, Codex, or another agent and ask it to review the GitHub repository and source first.

Do not install or run any commands yet. Read this plugin's GitHub repository, README, and relevant source code. Then answer the questions below clearly and directly so I can decide whether it fits my needs:

1. What is this plugin, and what problem does it solve?
2. Who is it for, and what are its typical use cases?
3. How is it used after installation? Include one minimal example.
4. What known limitations or privacy, security, compatibility, or maintenance risks does it have?
5. Give a clear recommendation: recommend, conditionally recommend, or do not recommend, with reasons.

Distinguish statements documented by the repository, inferences from source code, and unknowns. If evidence is insufficient, say so explicitly. Do not guess or simply repeat the README.

dsh-everything-search

Instant filename search for DeepSeek Harness (DSH) agents, backed by voidtools Everything. Registers two host-side agent tools:

  • everything_search — whole-index filename queries in milliseconds (reads the NTFS MFT index, never a slow recursive directory walk), with optional path scoping, node_modules/.git noise filtering, and exact/prefix/substring ranking.
  • everything_status — reports whether the Everything backend is usable, where es.exe was found, and what to do if it is not.

> ⚠️ Windows-only. Everything indexes NTFS volumes on Windows; on other platforms the tools return a clear error telling the agent to fall back to the regular glob/grep tools.

Install

Requires pnpm and a DSH profile.

# into the web profile (the default GUI profile)
dsh plugin --profile web add github:Argonaut790/dsh-everything-search

# or into the desktop profile
dsh plugin --profile desktop add github:Argonaut790/dsh-everything-search

If pnpm add is blocked from running the package's build scripts, add the exact key pnpm printed under allowBuilds in <profile>/pnpm-workspace.yaml, then re-run.

Backend requirements

The tools shell out to es.exe (the Everything command-line interface). It is discovered from, in order:

1. the EVERYTHING_ES environment variable, 2. ~/.dsh/bin/everything/es.exe (the portable Everything layout used by DSH Desktop), 3. Program Files / Program Files (x86) / %LOCALAPPDATA% Everything installs, 4. es.exe on PATH.

Install Everything from <https://www.voidtools.com/> (or run the portable copy under ~/.dsh/bin/everything). Everything must be running (it stays in the tray); if it is installed but not running, the plugin attempts to start it once with Everything.exe -startup and retries.

Tools

everything_search

ParameterTypeDefaultDescription
querystring—Filename substring (case-insensitive). */? pass through as Everything search syntax.
rootstring—Absolute Windows folder to scope the search to (e.g. Z:\Programming\SmartQuestApp). Omit for the whole machine.
limitinteger50Max results (cap 200).
skipNoisebooleantrueDrop node_modules/.git paths from results.
contentbooleanfalseSearch file contents instead of names (requires Everything content indexing).
caseSensitivebooleanfalseMatch case exactly.

Results are ranked like the GUI file tree: exact name match, then prefix, then substring; shorter paths first; alphabetical tie-break. Each hit is { path, name, isDir } (folders are excluded — they are found via path prefixes anyway).

everything_status

No parameters. Returns backend, esPath, reachable, optional error/detail, and a human-readable hint.

Design rules

  • Never falls back to a slow recursive directory walk. If Everything is missing or not running, the tool returns a structured error telling the agent to use glob/grep instead.
  • Queries are literal substrings by default; Everything's own search syntax is passed through when the query contains * or ?.
  • Output is lossless JSON (no undefined values), so results pass dsh-tools validation.

Development

git clone https://github.com/Argonaut790/dsh-everything-search.git
cd dsh-everything-search
pnpm install            # pulls @deepseek-ai/dsh-tools for type-checking/imports
node .test-tmp/run-test.mjs   # standalone smoke test against the real es.exe
