File Explorer Window Searches

See the search box at the top right of every File Explorer window (Figure 3-

4)? This, too, is a piece of the Search empire. But there’s a big difference:
The taskbar search box searches your entire computer. The search box in a
File Explorer window searches only that window (and folders within it).

As you type, the window changes to show search results (in Content view)
in a massively scrolling list.

Once the results appear, you can change the window view if that’s helpful—
or sort, filter, and group them, just as you would in any other Explorer

window.

You can also make the search box bigger—by dragging the divider bar
(between the address bar and the search box) to the left. Useful when you’re

searching for your novel in progress: “The Sudden Disappearance,
Reappearance, and then Disappearance Again of Sean O’Flanagan at the
Dawn of the Elizabethan Era.”
