Thanks for trying that out, David.

Using the exact settings as above, I get the 'Everything' error message:

Unable to open file list: C:\Users\-\Desktop\-search <Authors Name> <Book Title> is not a valid file list.

Which is odd as neither the book nor 'Everything' are located on the desktop.

If I remove all the Args so the box is empty, it then opens an empty Everything search box.

The (Search the Internet) plugin cant seem to handle any filename with spaces, so as it is above it does nothing. If I change the file location to one with no spaces and remove the Args after the .exe then it will open 'Everything' with no search term passed. Putting anything after the .exe stops even that from working.

Using the webrun: protocol ( http://www.webrunapps.com/ ), which is the same idea as the AHK solution that Chaley suggested:

webrun:C:\Everything\Everything.exe -s {title}

That opens everything with the search term passed but with + symbols between every term. If I put title (and/or author) into double quotes it gives the error "not a valid file list"

My next idea was to use some kind of intermediary like a batch file to send the search term to, clean out the + symbols and then pass it on to 'Everything'.
