How to do a quick search in Windows 7
Many times we may sometimes want to find files or folders on your computer, but do not remember where it is located. In these cases, the solution is very simple and consists of performing a quick search using the tools provided by our operating system!
Below we will see different methods of how to search for files or folders in Windows 7.
1.) A second way to find files and folders involves the use of the search box at the top-right inside any window. In this case, you would simply enter a word or part of it, and the search will be performed automatically by Windows, which will return the results in the same window. A difference from the method described above is that, while by searching from the Start menu are searched files and folders across your computer, in this second way the research will cover only the files and folders in the open folder or sub- folders of the latter (for example, if you open the folder ” My Documents ” and in the window that appeared to perform a search, this will concern only files and folders included in the ” Documents ” and in the sub-folders of the ” Documents ” ). However, you can extend, in this case, the search all over the computer, simply by scrolling down the results returned by Windows and click on ” Computer “.
2.) Finally, a third method provides for the opening of the search folder by clicking buttons simultaneously Windows logo and F. The procedure to be followed to perform the search is exactly the same as previously described. Remember that the methods described are all equivalent to each other and are designed only to respond better to different situations where you can find the user while using Windows.
3.) One way to search through the use of the Start menu, which you can open by clicking the Windows icon, present on the left of the taskbar. Below left in the menu, next to ” Shut Down “, you will find a search box; type one or more words that you remember to be related to the file or folder that you are going to find and you will see that Windows will automatically return the results of your search within the same menu window.
It is important to know that, whatever the method of search that you maintain (this or the next to be described), the text you enter is sought both in the titles of the files and folders, the contents of the files themselves; Also, you can enter as complete words, as parts of words.
