Are you having trouble finding search items in Windows 10? Don't worry; you're not alone. Many users find it challenging to locate the search function, especially if they are new to the operating system. In this article, we'll guide you through the process of finding search items in Windows 10.
1. The Taskbar
The first place to look for the search function is the taskbar. By default, Windows 10 places the search icon next to the Start button on the taskbar. To access the search function, simply click on the search icon.
If the search icon is not visible, follow these steps:
a. Right-click on an empty space on the taskbar.
b. Select "Taskbar settings" from the menu that appears.
c. Scroll down and toggle the "Show search box" switch to the "On" position.
2. The Start Menu
If you can't find the search icon on the taskbar, another option is to use the Start menu. To access the search function using the Start menu:
a. Click on the Start button.
b. Type what you're looking for in the search box that appears.
3. The Search Box
If neither the taskbar nor the Start menu is helpful, you can also use the search box. The search box is a dedicated text field for searching your computer for files, apps, and settings.
To access the search box:
a. On the desktop, press the "Windows" key on your keyboard.
b. The search box will appear on the right side of the taskbar.
4. The Search Icon on the Desktop
Some users prefer to have the search icon on their desktop for easy access. To add the search icon to your desktop:
a. Right-click on an empty space on the desktop.
b. Select "New" > "Shortcut."
c. In the "Type the location of the item" field, enter "C:\Program Files\Windows Search\search.exe" (for 32-bit systems) or "C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Search\search.exe" (for 64-bit systems).
d. Click "Next," then "Finish."
e. Right-click on the newly created shortcut and rename it to "Search."
f. Drag and drop the "Search" shortcut to an empty space on the desktop.
Now you know how to find search items in Windows 10. Whether you prefer using the taskbar, Start menu, search box, or desktop icon, you can quickly find what you need without any hassle.
