Figure 3-4. The instant you click into the search box (circled), the Search tab of the Ribbon
mysteriously appears. Marvel at the wealth of searching opportunity facing you.

search filters that help you weed down a big list of results:
This PC. This button, at far left, does the opposite of weed down
your results—it expands the scope of your search. You’ve just
searched this Explorer window, but this button applies the same
search to your entire computer.
Current folder. An Explorer search usually searches the window
that’s open and all the folders inside it. If you click this button,
though, you eliminate the subfolders from the results.
All subfolders. Remember the fun you had reading the “Current
folder” paragraph just now? This button has the opposite function.
