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

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.
Rebecca

Subject: Just a Cortana curiocity
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.
