Windows 10: How to enable search tools to open automatically when typing into search box in file explorer?

On my one Windows 10 machine when using file explorer, search tools opens any time time I start typing into the search box. On my other machine it doesn't.

How can I enable it to open automatically when using the search box?

File Explorer Search Not Working


I am trying to search in File Explorer (Windows Explorer, My Computer) and it will not find anything. I can copy text from a name in the list and paste it in the search box and it still finds nothing. I have looked at the suggestions that have been posted and nothing I find that is relative to this works. Anyone have any suggestions? I am running Win 10 Pro on an I3 coustom desktop computer.

 

File search box

The file search box keeps stopping. Most of the time it is OK, then it wont let me type anything into it in any file. I have run the search and index troubleshooter with no results. It is set to start at startup and run automatically.

It will be OK at the next PC startup without me doing anything.

Any suggestions would be welcomed.

Thank You
