SEARCHING OF FILES OR FOLDERS
We should save our files in folders so that they can be easily found later when required. But
sometimes we actually forget where we have stored our files or folders. In such a case, rather
than browsing through File Explorer, we can simply search for them. Windows enables us to
search for files or folders through the search box that is always available in the File Explorer
window. You can use this search box in any of the following situations:
We remember the file name or folder name completely or some part of it.
We know the date of the last modification in the file or folder.
We know the file extension.
Let us learn how we can use the Search feature in Windows.
Searching of Files/Folders Using File Explorer
We can search files or folders through File Explorer if we exactly know the name of the file/folder or
the extension of the file. The steps to search for files or folders through File Explorer are as follows:
Step 1 Open the File Explorer window.
Step 2 Type the file or folder name
(or part of it) that you want to
search in the search box at the
top-right corner.
Step 3 Windows will display the files
or folders matching the search
term.
