Windows 10 search of all subfolders on harddrive
Hello, In windows 10 V21H1: If I open up file explorer to a directory c:\subdir\ and search for text it will find the text located in c:\subdir\subdir2\. However, if I go to c:\ and run the same search for the same text with "all subfolders selected" in the ribbon it returns no matches. How do I search entire drive for a text string? As a subsidiary question, is windows 10 search just junk and I should use Agent Ransack or something else instead? Thanks
:)

Windows 10 Tweaks
Pressing “Windows+Pause Break” (it’s up there next to scroll lock) opens the “System” Window.
Windows 10: In the new version of Windows, Explorer has a section called Quick Access. This includes your frequent folders and recent files. Explorer defaults to opening this page when you open a new window. If you’d rather open the usual This PC, with links to your drives and library folders, follow these steps:
- Open a new Explorer window.
- Click View in the ribbon.
- Click Options.
- Under General, next to “Open File Explorer to:” choose “This PC.”
- Click OK
