Windows 8.1 & 10 Tip: Advanced File Search with Explorer Toolbar

Works with Windows 10 too.

In Windows 8.1 file searching is much easier than Windows 7. Since Windows 8.1 adopted the same toolbar setup as Office, the functions that are available are clearly laid out at the top of your file window,

But since the toolbar changes depending on what you are doing, you won't necessarily see the Search functions. Simply click on the search box in the top right and the system will add a Search tab to the menu. All of your possible Search functions are laid out in the toolbar for easy access.

I could use some help, windows 10 searches are not like windows 8. when typing in for the file I want to search, it comes up in a small "box" under the search. It does not populate in the folder showing date modified, size... ect like windows 8 does. Hopefully there are settings that can make the window 10 search look exactly like windows 8. The work I do I need to see this. I have to do all my work on a old laptop with 8.1 installed. Hopefully you can help!!! Thanks
