Hi Diplocaulus, and the other users who replied here.

The current Windows 11 File Explorer no longer shows the search history, by design. . . ."

Bad decision. I, and apparently lots of other heavy users, save a lot of time with that feature. Iterative searching is intuitive. Saved Searches is not a substitute, because it doesn't leave anything in the search box to build on. I can copy and keep pasting name:~= but many useful searches will include AND NOT or OR. Now I'm going to have to keep a text file open with many skeleton search terms. (After 37 years, I have more than 100K files and have used many different naming schemes, as well as having many imposed on me.) Screenshot shows what I want back.

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.

 

listing of recent searches in win 11 file explorer is broken

Why has my recent search history items in the file explorer search box failed to show anything?

Search history on this device is enabled.

Win 11 version is 22H2 - should I try rolling back to previous version?

I tried uninstalling recent win 11 updates.

i have Microsoft 365 - en-us and Microsoft 365 (Office)

Moved from Microsoft 365 to Windows
