    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?

    Search function in Windows 10 - return to default?

    Mike,

    I think it would be worthwhile starting a new question.

    Call it - Cortana cannot find photo files without specific search filter

    In the description, state that [assuming, of course, that I have understood each of these points correctly]

    • Cortana repeatedly fails to find photos in your desktop folder
    • Cortana can only find photos in your desktop folder if you select that specific search filter
    • Cortana can find photos in other folders even without using the specific search filter?????????
    • File explorer searchbar can find the photos in your desktop folder even without using the specific search filter
    • Indexing is correct [folders are correct & File explorer searchbar success further demonstrates this]
    • Search & indexing troubleshooter finds no faults [File explorer searchbar success further demonstrates this]

    When you have asked your new question, please would you come back to this one and paste in a link to the new one as I would like to see what advice you are given [I won't be any use].

    Ignore any replies by "Microsoft" "Support" "Engineers" as they are invariably useless

    Best of luck,

    Denis

  3. 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.

    Let us know should you need further assistance.

    Do you mean you want a mix of web content, apps and documents (files) all in the same list?

    Isn't that what this shows by default?
