  1. Using the search box in File History


    I have data from a previously owned laptop secured via File History. When I look for files using the Restore from File History interface, I noticed that the search box seems to only look for files that start with the text entered. So if I put "lamb" in the search box, it returns these files:It does not include files that contain the word lamb somewhere in the file name. For example, if I use "greek" as my search word, I get files that have "lamb" in the title that didn't appear in my first search:I have tried using some wildcard characters eg * or % but it includes these in the file name sea

    :)

    2. type something in search box

    3. clear search box

    4. click search box again, you will see a drop down list showing recent search history

    5. click the Quick access which is located at the top of file explorer Navigation pane

    6. click search box again, it does not show the history list anymore

    I have to close file explorer and open it again to get the search history back.

    Using the search box in File History

    IE11 Google Toolbar no auto search suggestions, no search history?

    Since the last Win 10 update my Google Toolbar won't list any search suggestions as I type and there is no search history listed. The Google tool bar will allow a search, but after a few searches no search history shows and no "clear search" button is listed either.

    I have turnd on "Suggest searches as you type", and "store search histroy on my computer" in the Google Toolbar options.

    Any suggestions to fix this?
