  1. Windows Search Box changes


    I just released that very recently the search box in windows 10 has been changed. No longer can you type commands such as kind:### where ### represents a file type i.e programs, documents, images etc in order to only return the specifically chosen ### file type as the search results .....


    Is there anyway to fix this? And bring back the old functionality ?

    :)

    search box gives an extremely short list of suggestions, then when the suggestion is clicked the response is again, we could not find what you are looking for.

    That search box uses your default search provider. Are you generally unhappy with that search provider? Have you tried others?
