When I first updated to Windows 10 there was an option to click on "my stuff" when using the search window. This has now disappeared and I really would like it back. Can anyone help please?
Thanks
Hello, it's part of the design change in the Anniversary Upgrade, it seems. It's gone. (Like 'All apps' in the start menu which many also ask about). You now have buttons for searching 'Documents' Apps' 'Videos' etc
Note Cortana searching files and folders has limitations:
1. Only indexed items are found
2. executables (exe, cmd, bat..) are not.
Good file /folder search programs are
Ultrasearch
Everything (Void tools)
Locate32
- all free, very fast. As fast as you can type.
Sadly the productivity of windows search has been compromised step by step with each major update of win10.
The Anniversary update finally killed it by disabling the possibility of opening indexed search results in a folder window.
I'm evaluating x-1 right now, but still the luxury and power of windows search in win7 is hard to match..(search results in a folder window with one strike of the enter key after typing the search string!)
I hope that Microsoft developers will follow this thread because they are designing out one of the most powerful and productive features of the winOS.
I am vexed.
Maybe I'm missing something, but I don't think so.
- search results are 'find as you type'search results in a folder window with one strike of the enter key after typing the search string
- right click on a result, Open File Locationdisabling the possibility of opening indexed search results in a folder window
- unlikely- try Feedback via Win 10 or reporting your observations on MS's technet site, for exampleI hope that Microsoft developers will follow this thread
Thanks for all replies. Looks like "my stuff " has permanently gone, never to be seen again! Pity!
