Search Box Missing from File Explorer through 3 Insider Updates
I'm frustrated... It's been 3 Windows Updates since I had a search box in File Explorer...
and more annoying is that every time I do a search (knowing I'm not the only one with this issue) i come across an endless stream of "help articles" that claim to have the solution... yes, I've already stopped and started the search service - yes, already rebuilt the index - yes, I have restarted my computer - yes, of course I ran the troubleshooter... ugh.
This couldn't have come at a worse time as I'm re-configuring and restructuring my entire file system arrangement as well as migrating my vast music library from Google to PCloud (rearranging how they are filed, I used to have a separate folder for each album now I am combining into consolidated folders and using search on the root allows me to gather, pull and rearrange what I need done within seconds)... just explaining why so important lol
Does anyone with beyond basic troubleshooting skills know how to fix this?
