Registry Plugin

The registry plugin allows users to search the Windows registry.

Special functions (differ from the regular functions)

Support full base keys and short base keys (e.g. HKLM for HKEY_LOCALE_MACHINE).
Show count of subkeys and count of values in the second result line.
Search for value names and value data inside a registry key (syntax: [RegistryKey]\\[ValueName] and [RegistryKey]\\[ValueData])

The registry contains all settings for the Windows operating system and many settings of the installed (Windows only) programs.

Note: Linux and macOS program ports typical store the settings in their own configuration files and not in the Windows registry.

For more information about the Windows registry, see the official documentation.

For advanced information about the Windows registry, see Windows registry information for advanced users.

The score is currently not set on the results.

The assembly name is cached into _assemblyName (to avoid to many calls of Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly())

All results override the visible search result via QueryTextDisplay to avoid problems with short registry base keys (e.g. HKLM).
The length of a Title and Subtitle is automatic truncated, when it is to long.
