Windows 10: search results to be in DETAILS view

When I do a search, I want the results to be in DETAILS view instead of CONTENT view. How to make the change so that results always come up in details view? Win 10

Thank you for the detailed response. To change the search result's view from content to list, we suggest following the steps below:

• Open the File Explorer and try to search for files.
• In the toolbar, open the View tab and click List
  to change the view.
• Once changed, close the File Explorer.
• Open the File Explorer again and try to search to see if the setting has been retained.

After performing the steps above, reply back to us so we can provide additional help.

 

search results - cannot save view settings

Hi, what I see is that if I pick a folder I've not searched before, then the search view (changes) to Content.

For a folder I've searched before, that's not what I find. If I launch file explorer, view a folder as "Details", and search for e.g. *.txt, the Search view is "Details".

Certainly if I then keep viewing the folder, changing the view, it is not necessarily the case that the search view is the same as the folder view.

I do find this is the same:

How do I change the default view for Windows 10 File Explorer search results?

After visiting several Windows 10 'Help' forums, I managed to fix the problem without help in any forum, by experimentation:

• Open Windows Explorer and write anything in the search box and hit enter (the search results are in Content view)
• Manually set the search results in view format that you want (using right-click, View ―> Layout options, or whatever)
• Click on the View tab and select Options on the far right and click on the Change folder and search options
• Select the Search tab and add any option (say, Include compressed files) and click on Apply
• Close Options panel, close Windows Explorer and reopen. Repeat step 1 and voil , the view format of your search results is back the way you like it. You can repeat steps 3 and 4 to undo the change you made to the Search options.

Now, I haven't rebooted, but if it doesn't stick after a reboot, I'll come back for a slice of humble pie.
