    IE11 Google Toolbar no auto search suggestions, no search history?

    Since the last Win 10 update my Google Toolbar won't list any search suggestions as I type and there is no search history listed. The Google tool bar will allow a search, but after a few searches no search history shows and no "clear search" button is listed either.

    I have turnd on "Suggest searches as you type", and "store search histroy on my computer" in the Google Toolbar options.

    Any suggestions to fix this?

    Cannot search in a specific folder [Windows 10]

    Hi Hitesh,

    Thank you for posting on Microsoft Communities.

    I will be glad to help you with the issue you have with the computer. I understand the frustration when things don't work the way it should.

    Did you make any changes to the computer prior to the issue?

    What is the anti-virus program on the computer?

    The first step to take when Windows Search isn’t finding your files is to make sure that Windows is indexing the location where your files reside. You’ll see a list of locations and applications that are currently being indexed; note that if a drive or folder
    is listed here, then all subfolders and files included in that drive are indexed as well.

    I suggest you to rebuild Search index and check. To rebuild the Windows 10 Search index the do the following as seen below:

    • Select Windows Key and “X”.
    • Select Control Panel.
    • Select Indexing Options.
    • Select Advanced Options.
    • Select rebuild index.
    Please reply with the results, we are happy to help you further.

    Thank you.
