Hello,
I haven't been here for a long time.
I hate windows 10 search feature. The whole file explored. The whole difficult to use, privacy invasive windows 10. If I still had the where-with-all to use some other operating system without a bunch of reading and learning, I would. And I'd get rid of Microsoft.
Anyway, I know the name of the 2000 word document and where I saved it, but search won't find it. Why? If I open word the file is in the recently opened file list and I can open it again. After it's out of that list, I'll never be able to find it again.
Messing around, it looks like this is because I saved the file in a sub-folder of Program Files (x86), but I'm not sure. File Explored doesn't seem to show it there. But, it does show a .doc file in a sub-folder of my D: drive. Also, from within word when I click on save as, the window that pops up shows the saved file is already there.
How do I get my File Explorer to show me everything? In 'View' I have 'Hidden Items' checked.
Also, what is a good free search program? Hopefully one with some power but still simple for basic use. For me, power means things like being able to search for files created on a certain day. That has helped me to find virus or malware a couple of times. Finding files that I didn't put on my computer the day before.
