To search for a file or folder on your computer, you can use the Windows Search feature. To open the search box, press the Windows key and the letter S on your keyboard at the same time.
In the search box, you will see a blank field that you can type in. Type in the name or part of the name of the file or folder that you are looking for. You can also type in keywords related to your search. For example, if you are looking for a word document, you could type in ‘doc’ or ‘word’.
Once you have entered your search query, press the Enter key or click on the magnifying glass icon. Windows will then search your entire computer for any files or folders that match the search query.
By default, Windows will show results from the Documents folder, Desktop and Downloads folder. If you want to search within other folders, you can click on the “More Results” link. This will open the Advanced Search pane, which allows you to specify the location to search within. Click the Browse button and select the folder that you want to search in.
You can also narrow down search results by using filters. At the top of the search window, you will see the “Kind” filter. This allows you to filter the search results by file type (e.g. documents, images, videos). The “Date” filter allows you to limit results according to when they were modified (e.g. created, last edited).
Once you have found the file or folder that you are looking for, you can double-click it to open it. Or, you can right-click it and select “Open Location” to open the folder containing the file or folder.
Using the Windows Search feature is a fast and efficient way to locate files and folders on your computer.
