Changing the window caption

Add the following lines to the end of the Everything.ini:

window_title_format=$s?{$s - }$t$i?{ ($i)}
http_title_format=$s?{$s - }$t
taskbar_notification_title_format=$t$i?{ ($i)}

variable	description
$s	Current search
$t	Everything (localized)
$i	Instance name

Syntax

$x?{text} = display text if $x is not empty.

For example, to change the window title to My Search including the search string:

window_title_format=$s?{$s - }My Search

Example format	Search	Title
$s?{$s - }My Search	apples	apples - My Search
$s?{$s - }My Search		My Search

Note: Changing the window_title_format will also affect the title on the taskbar button.

Note: Requires "Everything" 1.2.1.369 beta or later
