Show more results in Windows 7 Search missing - what to do?
This practical tip shows you how to reactivate the "Show further results" option in the Windows 7 search function.
Show more results in the Windows 7 search
If the dialog "Show more results" is missing, you will find the error in the settings of the start menu.
- Click the Windows icon (start button) in the task bar.
- Then right-click on a free space, for example right next to the hibernation button.
- A window now appears called "Taskbar and Start Menu Properties". Here, click on "Customize ..." in the "Start menu" tab.
- In the first entry ("Search other files and libraries"), select one of the two options "Search with public folders" or "Search without public folders". In any case, "Do not search" must not be marked!
- Then click on "OK" and then on "Apply". Now the field "Show more results" appears again as soon as you enter something in the search field.
