Hello, teachers.

I know the title is not correct. People don't use "all which," but "all that."

While I was searching the internet about the usage of the relative pronoun "that," I found the following webpage that says ...
after the antecedents "all, anything, none, no, everything, the same, the very, and the few," only "that" is possible as a relative pronoun.

So I searched the web again and found many examples that use "which" with the antecedents in the above except "all."

Please help. Thank you.

Could you give us those examples please?

Well, I suppose "that" comes more naturally to the tongue but I wouldn't say "which" is impossible.
