Anybody having trouble w/ Windows Explorer search?

Ah. I see. Yeah, "tiles" and the "icon" selections don't allow for variable columns because they are dictated by the size of the icon/tile. That's irrelevant to the issue's you brought up, but I see your confusion.

Post #100,
Why did we not see that?

This is a very unusual display for the File Manager. Does really fix the Search feature of File Manager? Only way to know is search for something.I am guessing here, need to select Contents in the View menu and then click This PC in the left panel, and then try the Search. I will test try this for mp3 files, if any, as "*.mp3".

..., over five minutes and the search still not done yet. This takes too long.

Finally after about 8 minutes a list of mp3 files was shown in the main panel. NOT shown and not indicated was WHERE they are (what file directory path?).
(the right-click menu gives a couple of options for finding directory path.)

This. . .? .

Yes. I almost always get that view when I search.

Then you should switch to the "detail" view if you want more manipulation of the results. I find that the icon view is basically useless. The image views can be useful if you are specifically looking for images.

I realize that now. When the results are stuck in Content view there is no menu at the top. I never thought to right click to get the menu.
