Cortana search filter list

I have a lot of space for display content in Cortana search list, and 80% of it not used because Cortana sorting items by types.
How disable all filters and make visible all suggested content?

 

Cortana settings - search filter catagories

Updated:

I now see that the filters engage as soon as the first character is typed in Cortana, not just by typing in the word "filters". I guess there are different versions of the filter menu and I find that the filter menu has been updated so that you can select
the filter immediately upon entering your search term.

I might have, but I can't remember what I could have done. As far as troubleshooting, I have removed and reset all of my Cortana settings. I cannot get close to getting those search filters to default, but I can get them by entering "filters" every time
in the seach box, but that kind if defeats the purpose. Isn't this supposed to be a new feature in the Creator's Edition? I would think you could recreate this.

 

Search without Cortana

Hi,

The search function on Cortana showing both local and online suggestions is designed to help users to gain full access to all the possible search results. If you're trying to search for a local file without picking up online suggestions, we recommend that
you use the filter option to refine the search. Here are the steps on how to set the filter:

• Type the word that you're trying to search.
• Select the appropriate filter for the desired result.
  
  
  
  
• Wait for the list to load and click the desired search result.

Basic searches like, function, settings, and location doesn't require filter. In addition, you can click the drop-down arrow for
Filters to view other filter type.
