Retaining Search Box results
I love Windows 10 but its Search Box functionality is a step backwards from Windows 7. As in Windows 7, is there a way to retain Search Box results so I can return to the results if the first file or folder I open isn't the one I want? This was easy in Windows 7 but I can't find a way to do it in Windows 10. The search box results disappear now after I load a file or folder so I have to perform another search from scratch.
Let me try to explain differently:
1. Click the Start button
2. In the search box, type "Microsoft"
3. Click "My Stuff" to limit the search to your computer
4. In the "Show" drop-down box, click "Documents"
5. Click "See All" and select a document
You'll notice that document opens but the search results window is lost so it's impossible to return to it if the first document isn't the one you want, necessitating another search from the beginning which is very frustrating. In Windows 7, the search results window would remain open in a minimized state so it could be activated to open additional documents.
I'm asking if this functionality remains in Windows 10 because it's very annoying to go back to the very beginning to continue searching.
Thank you.
