The best and easiest ways to search for programs and files in Windows 8 |
April 15, 2013
Randy G. finds Windows 8's search tools a bit confusing. I offer some suggestions.
Windows 8 may have the greatest learning curve of any Microsoft operating system. Fortunately, it generally offers at least two ways to do a particular chore. I'll give you search techniques for both the Modern Interface (also known as Metro, although I prefer calling it the flat, ugly interface--FUI) and the Desktop (AKA, Windows 7 without the Start button).
[Email your tech questions to answer@pcworld.com or post them on the PCW Answer Line forum.]
The Modern Interface
At the Start screen, just type your search word. A panel will appear on the right side of the screen, listing how many matches it found in different categories.
