    Where is the help for the SEARCH feature in Windows Explorer?


    My Windows 11 appears to have a bug in that there is not help not even a ? icon for Windows File Explorer and I'm trying to find the options for search for a specific text string within a group of files.This used to be doable in earlier versions of Windows, but either the functionality has been totally removed, or totally hidden.I want to search for a "text string" within a specific group of files EG: *.tex bigger than 250k and within a 3-month time range? Is this a bug that there is no help? Or is it a new "feature" that we're simply supposed to know all the options? Thanks.

    :)

  3. 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.
