Search Function in Win 11 (from the taskbar)

The search function only seems to give me a single result. Let's say I'm searching for "Alan" ...only one folder comes up when there are actually dozens. How do I get ALL results from the search?

Click to expand...

I don't know if this is the preferred method, but...

I always use File Explorer search when I want to find ALL instances of a file or folder.
I only use the Taskbar search box for one-of-a-kind Windows things, like Services, Control Panel, Defaults... etc.

I think we are supposed to click on the Apps or Documents tabs if we want more than the single Best match return.

Welcome to ElevenForum.

It's really worth making time to browse through the ElevenForum Tutorial index - there's a shortcut to it at the top of every ElevenForum page [within the Tutorials dropdown list].
- At the foot of the ElevenForum Tutorial index is a shortcut to download it as a spreadsheet.
- I download a new copy each month.
- By downloading it as a spreadsheet I can benefit from Excel's excellent filtering capabilities when I search for topics of interest.
- ElevenForum tutorials are also listed at Tutorials and there's a shortcut to that at the top of every page.

You can search ElevenForum using the search box in the top-right corner of all ElevenForum webpages or using Advanced Search - ElevenForum
- You can also search ElevenForum threads in many general search engines, such as Google, by adding site:elevenforum.com after your search term. For example,
Taskbar setup site:elevenforum.com
- [This is what the search box in the top-right corner of ElevenForum webpages does automatically]

For MSOffice problems search in and, if necessary, create threads in the TenForums MSOffice section [ElevenForum does not have one].

As @Try3 suggests, click on the Search Filters after typing your key search:



Usually you would click on "Documents" or ">Photos".
