Windows 10: Regex searching in Start Menu possible? Or at least search by "comment" attributes?

I could search photos by querying their tag name in the start menu but not by the values in their comment field (right click properties > details tab > description > comments; jpg files, png files have no comment attribute).

it does show up in file explorer, just not through the start menu so i don't see why it wouldn't via start menu.. i have win10 pro 64bit

disable the start menu search

Hi Darrell,

If you really don’t use Windows Search much, you can disable indexing completely by turning off the Windows Search service. However, disabling the open file menu is not possible in Windows 10.

To disable the Windows Search, kindly follow these steps:

• Click on Start and search for Services.
• Select Services from the list of results.
  • 
    
    
• On the right side of the Services window, find the
  Windows Search entry and click it twice.
• In the Startup type drop-down menu, select the
  Disabled option. This will prevent Windows Search from loading the next time you start your computer.
• Click the Stop button to go ahead and stop the Windows Search service now. When the service has stopped, click on
  Apply button.
• Click on OK button, and then restart your computer.
  

Let us know if you have any other concerns.

 

Start Menu Search

Hi, Yes. I tried changing my primary SSD from MBR to GPT via Ease Us Partition Tool. All my other drives besides the main successfully converted but not my primary disk. When the application was trying to convert the disk I received a Kernal In Page Error.
Hope this helps!
