    Windows 10 Search All Subfolders


    I have Windows 10 and when searching folders in file explorer my default was always to search all folders and subfolders. Now it defaults to just search the current folder. I can choose subfolders from the ribbon but I desperately want to set all subfolders as the default again. I've searched the web for answers and windows doesn't behave the way that people describe. I choose search options in explorer and there is no option to set this as a default anymore. Anyone have any advice?

    :)
