  1. Search function in Microsoft File Explorer Windows 10


    Hi,Hope all is well.I'm looking for a way to search a large network drive which contains multiple layers of subfolders and a huge number of documents to obtain a list of all documents/files e.g. videos, photos, word documents etc that I am either the author/file owner of. I have tried to search by my name/username, however the search result list definitely does not include every document that I'm looking for. Furthermore, I am only interested at looking at a specific period e.g. April FY21 up to today.I have tried playing around with the search options but sadly to no avail. I hope someo

    :)

    Microsoft Internet Explorer renamed to Windows Internet Explorer ?

    Search function in Microsoft File Explorer Windows 10 wie1.png


    Since version 7 of the world`s most popular web browser - Microsoft Internet Explorer was silently renamed to Windows Internet Explorer.Such a step from Microsoft is not a surprise since Internet Explorer is part of the Windows operation system for a long time.Obviously Microsoft corp. wants to state that Internet Explorer is already considered as a part of Windows and not as an external browser (remember the IE and WMP law issues last year!?).

    Pressing “Windows+Pause Break” (it’s up there next to scroll lock) opens the “System” Window.

    Windows 10: In the new version of Windows, Explorer has a section called Quick Access. This includes your frequent folders and recent files. Explorer defaults to opening this page when you open a new window. If you’d rather open the usual This PC, with links to your drives and library folders, follow these steps:

    • Open a new Explorer window.
    • Click View in the ribbon.
    • Click Options.
    • Under General, next to “Open File Explorer to:” choose “This PC.”
    • Click OK

    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.
