  1. Windows Explorer Search Issue


    Hi, Im really hoping you can help me. Whenever I search for files in explorer the results show, but when I click back onto another folder and minimize the window, windows search returns with the previous one. The only way to stop it is to close the explorer box and open it up again, but as I am searching through a number of folders, that will be very time consuming having to close the explorer box every time. I have attached a link to the video.

    Link to the Video

    Many thanks

    :)

    Microsoft Internet Explorer renamed to Windows Internet Explorer ?

    Windows Explorer Search Issue wie1.png


    Since version 7 of the world`s most popular web browser - Microsoft Internet Explorer was silently renamed to Windows Internet Explorer.Such a step from Microsoft is not a surprise since Internet Explorer is part of the Windows operation system for a long time.Obviously Microsoft corp. wants to state that Internet Explorer is already considered as a part of Windows and not as an external browser (remember the IE and WMP law issues last year!?).

    Thank you for the detailed response. To change the search result's view from content to list, we suggest following the steps below:

    • Open the File Explorer and try to search for files.
    • In the toolbar, open the View tab and click List
      to change the view.
    • Once changed, close the File Explorer.
    • Open the File Explorer again and try to search to see if the setting has been retained.

    After performing the steps above, reply back to us so we can provide additional help.
