Windows 10: Automatically search files in start menu

In Windows 7 I type xxxx.txt and it searches the file in the indexed files.

In Windows 10 I have to type Find in Documents. How do I make it searches in my files without clicking a second time ?

:)

 

I open Window 10 file manager it automatically starts a search that never ends

When I open Window 10 file manager it automatically starts a search that never ends.
If I cancel it the search stops, but almost all of my menu options are grayed out.

Thanks for your help

 

How to Search after Hiding Search Bar

After installing Windows 10, I hid the search bar because I wanted to save space on my taskbar. However, I do not know how to search my computer after hiding the search bar. I want to find another way to search my computer without having to show the search
icon or search bar on the taskbar. Shouldn't the search bar be found IN the Start menu itself? I found out that when I opened my Start menu and started typing a word, the search function would automatically pop up. However, if I opened my Start menu and accidentally
clicked anywhere in the Start menu just once and starting typing the word, the search function would not pop up. Therefore, I had to close the Start menu and reopen it again, making sure not to click anywhere in the Start menu, to let the Search function pop
up by itself again when I started typing. Is there a way to allow the search function to automatically pop up even after I pressed anywhere on the Start menu without having the search icon or search bar on my taskbar?

 

Nobody knows ? To soon I guess.

 

Try this
Press the WinKey [ *Start ]
then just type your search item, i.e. Q1report or Disk




This was working well last week, but seems to behave strange this week.
It seems to be working for me now, but not 2 hours ago *Sad

If you don't get results with a word, try typing just the first letter of the file you want to find.
Also, don't add extensions when searching - just the file name (Q1report instead of Q1report.xlsx)

 

hi!
the same problem for me.
My thread https://www.tenforums.com/general-dis...tml#post395427.

Hope a resolution

 

My situation is not an issue, it's by design. File search works fine, but we need to click find in documents before, so it requires a second click, less efficient this way

 

the same for me *Cool

 

Try this:
Launch Settings, then search for Search
Select the trouble shooter




Press advanced and run as administrator
Choose the issue your machine exhibits - I picked 'files not found' and it informed me that the search data files had the wrong permissions. This might be a red herring though - I recall seeing the 'error' before and corrected it.

You might want to select 'The issue is not listed' to run a more thorough trouble shooting session.
