Re: Just a Cortana curiocity
Hi Rebecca, And yes, I most often use, and have for years used your method for more sophisticated, and for those not so sophisticated searches. Just wanted to know if I happened to find the search results in Cortana particularly promising on some level if there was some way to freeze it into position so that I could avail myself of the info with more facility, so to speak. If not, no biggie. As usual, thanks, and have a great day, Larry On 10/18/2016 7:22 AM, Rebecca Lineberger wrote: Hi Larry, I use the Cortana search from the Start menu if I want to start a program, Disk cleanup, for example, or want to access a setting, or if I know the exact file I want.

It will bring up all instances of a result, not just a few, and you can define your search by all kinds of modifiers (name, date, size, etc,) that are not available in the Start menu search. The results will still be there after you open a file, allowing you to browse through all 345 banana bread recipes you have stored in various subfolders for example, or to see what songs you have with Sunshine in the title, without starting a new search each time.
