Search bar repair

Posted by zlatipln on June 11, 2008

I had some spyware and after removing it, the Windows search bar /F3/ become blank. I could not type anything to search.

This was a big trouble for me as I have thousands of files in my computer and search for filename or file content many times a day.

After researching the Microsoft page, I found this program: Tweak UI

It is a wellknown software. I have read many times about it but never used as I didn’t had need to tweak my Windows.

The program is small and easy to use.

Here is a screenshot:

 

Expand ‘Explorer’ then check ‘Use Classic Search in Explorer’ checkbox.

This solved my search problem.
