Hi Steven Campoli,
I just did an upgrade from release 1903 build 18362.175 directly to 20H1 build 18917.1000 and the search box looks fine, I also see the search tools as you can see in this picture.

As I see your pic the search bar is the older one...not the new one with suggestions...check my screen shot the new search is larger and the bars are bigger

You must click on the search area to enable search tools. 10.0.18917.1

What do you mean with 'The older one" ? I don't see any difference.
It is the same in 18362.175 and in 18917.1000.
Click on the search box and the search menu will show.

Yes I know that,

but they introduced a new search feature with suggestions 2 builds ago and some people have it and some people don't..the search tools for me works with the old search not with the new search ... Check my screenshot and check the other one on this thread u will see the look of the bar is different

Check my screenshot on page one and then the one right underneath mine, you will see it looks different...

Hi Steven,
If it is a new feature introduced 2 builds ago that is probably when the problems started.
Perhaps there is some setting that needs to be changed to see the new feature ?
I Just tried a fresh clean install of 18917.1000 and I don't see this new search feature you are talking about.
At exactly what build level was it working with the new search ?

Default
18908 I believe...I do t see search tools but some do with the new search..probably a work in progress

We’re investigating an issue where some users are reporting that File Explorer search is rendering in an unexpectedly small area and clicking it results in a crash.

We fixed an issue for some of the Insiders with the updated File Explorer search experience, resulting in suggested results in the search dropdown not responding when clicked. Thanks for reporting this!

File Explorer search bar all sorted now

New Windows 10 Insider Preview Fast+Skip Build 18922 (20H1) - June 19


Edit: Spoke too soon explorer search bar still not there, still not sorted

Still not clear how the File Explorer updated search experience gets enabled ?
I just did an upgrade from build 18362.175 to 18922.1000 and I still see the same old search bar and no dropdown with suggestions.
Personally I hate the suggestions, but I was just trying to see if MS fixed the previous bug that was reported with build 18912 where the search box was missing.
