    Windows 10 - Start menu search


    When I search for a folder by typing the name in the start menu, how can I then go to a subfolder without having to open the folder, e.g. I am trying to get to the following file documents/pictures/holidays/summer holiday 2018.


    I know I can just type on summer holidays 2018, but I have more complex searches so I am just giving an example.


    If I type in documents, and in the search results folders I get document, is there something I can type or hover over, which will then show me the list of subfolders within documents, so I can select pictures, and then holidays and then summer holidays 2018, rather than taking longer to open the folder in the search results and then browse through to the correct folder.

    :)
