Automatically search files in start menu


In Windows 7 I type xxxx.txt and it searches the file in the indexed files.

In Windows 10 I have to type Find in Documents. How do I make it searches in my files without clicking a second time ?

Nobody knows ? To soon I guess.

Try this
Press the WinKey [ ]
then just type your search item, i.e. Q1report or Disk


This was working well last week, but seems to behave strange this week.
It seems to be working for me now, but not 2 hours ago

If you don't get results with a word, try typing just the first letter of the file you want to find.
Also, don't add extensions when searching - just the file name (Q1report instead of Q1report.xlsx)

hi!
the same problem for me.
My thread .

Hope a resolution

My situation is not an issue, it's by design. File search works fine, but we need to click find in documents before, so it requires a second click, less efficient this way

the same for me

Try this:
Launch Settings, then search for Search
Select the trouble shooter


Press advanced and run as administrator
Choose the issue your machine exhibits - I picked 'files not found' and it informed me that the search data files had the wrong permissions. This might be a red herring though - I recall seeing the 'error' before and corrected it.

You might want to select 'The issue is not listed' to run a more thorough trouble shooting session.

I and others on here swear by
