Windows 10 File Explorer Window Searches

There are multiple ways that you can search in Windows, the File Explorer search is no exception and we’re going to go over what you can do in this tutorial.

One of the benefits of the File Explorer search is you have more real estate for search results.

Couple things to note about the File Explorer search box:

You can make the search box bigger by bringing your mouse cursor over the edge and dragging it out more.

When you type in your search item, you will get another tab called a search that will give you more search options, these options are described below:

This PC: this will expand your search to the entire computer.

Current Folder: This will only search in the current folder that you’re in. Special note, it will literally only search for the folder that you’re in, not even the subfolders.

All Subfolders: this will allow you to search for all the subfolders too.

Search again in: This will remember where you have a search in, in the past.

Date Modified, Kind, Size, Other properties: these are search filters that you can apply to your search.

The other properties:

Type: lets you specify the file type to search for if you know the file extension.

Name: this will search for the file name only.

Folder path: if you know the folder path to the object, you’re searching for you can use this.

Tags: if you put tags on a document, it can be searched for.

Recent Searches: This will show all your recent searches.

Advanced Options: Here you can search for nonindexed items and also tun on searching for zipped files.

Save search: this becomes available after you have searched, and you can save those parameters for later use.

You will notice when you’re clicking on these filtered results, it is adding a tag in the search box. You can manually type these in if you prefer, or if you can remember them that is.
