Windows 10: Windows 11 File Explorer Search Filter Functionality

In prior versions of File Explorer e.g. Windows 7 you could easily search files using Filters. In Pictures using Search Filters like "Date Taken" or "Tags" by placing the cursor in the search window and pressing enter. If you chose the Date filter a calendar/date range pop up would facilitate that. More importantly if you selected the Tag option a list of all Tags in my Pictures folders would pop up to choose from. How do you do that in Windows 11? If this advanced filter functionality has been removed, there should at least be some way of getting the list of all the tags I've created in

In response to your questions:

1. Did you make any changes to your PC prior to this issue?

Not that I am aware of.

2. Can you type in the search bar when you do not click on the Start button?

The search button on the task bar works - it is the search box on file explorer that is not functioning





3. What troubleshooting steps have to tried to fix the issue?

Confirmed file explorer options are set to default

Indexing Options - the only exclusion is against OS(C and that is Data; AppData; AppData

4. Does the issue occur when you are performing or running certain specific in the background?

The issue occurs even when only 1 File Explorer Window is open and task manager is not showing other programs running.

Re Method One - the search box in the control panel does not work. I opened via viewing as icons

and used both the default Files don't appear in search results and Search Function on File Explorer is not working as both a user and an administrator which led to explore additonal information which led to this website.

Re Method Two - response was

• 
  Windows Resource Protection did not find any integrity violations.
  

Windows Updates show the device is up to date.

Previously, as I typed into the search box, it would start searching at the first keystroke and now nothing.

Any more help will be appreciated.
