    Searchbox on taskbar


    I like to have the simple search box - magnifying glass only - on the taskbar.

    Since Win 10 Creators Update it appears - thus - Circle Type here to search (space) then the microphone symbol -

    Can't find a way back to the simple mag glass. Help!

    :)

    Search box: Search in folder names, file names and application names by default

    - Right click on taskbar

    - Navigate on Cortana

    - Click Show searchbox

    - Click the searbox beside start button

    - Click the settings

    - Turn Off Cortana.

    That should do the trcik

    how to search for all my .jpg files. have win 10

    Hi Jake,

    Open Windows File Explorer (folder icon on your Taskbar

    On the left click 'This PC'

    Then in the searchbox on the top right, enter: *.jpg

    (That isL star + dot + jpg)

    That will search your hard drive for all jpg files

    That's It!

    Does not work for me. If I right click taskbar and select Cortana, there are three options

    Hidden - Show Cortana Icon - Show search box BUT that search box includes, as I said - "Circle Type here to search (space) then the microphone symbol -" I only want the mag glass. The tutorial is out of date i think!

    How do I disable Cortana?

    The first tutorial link I posted above can help show you how to disable Cortana to then have the "Show search icon" option instead.
