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. But if I want to browse through results, I open my Documents or Music folder and press control f to search. 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. HTH.

Does anyone know if it isn't possible to go back to focus on a search after choosing one of the options in Cortana? There are times when I would just like to choose more than one or more of them, but the box disappears, and I have to type in the same thing over again in order to explore or choose another. Just wondering. _______________________________________________ Any views or opinions presented in this email are solely those of the author and do not necessarily represent those of Ai Squared.
