Search anomaly in Windows 10
One of the very few things I don't like about W10 from a usability perspective:
  1. Press the Windows key
  2. Type xxx (where xxx.yyy is a file I wish to open)
  3. No results found despite the default being to show all results
  4. Click the Documents icon at the top of the search results pane to restrict results to documents only
  5. Observe that file xxx.yyy is now listed
  6. Hover over the Documents icon and observe the balloon message "Remove documents filter to find all results"
  7. Click the Documents icon
  8. Observe no results found once more
Que?

This doesn't seem right but is consistent across all five W10 computers in my household. A proven method to fix this annoyance would be appreocated if it exists.

TVM,
XV
