Start10 Unified Start Menu Search

from Stardock Forums

Hello, I would like to know how I can get files such as video, music, and photos to show up in start menu search. Even most of my apps would not show up properly in the search and I had to manually add shortcuts to C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu

I took a screenshot of my search results with Start10 and my search results with Classic Shell to help visualize what I'm trying to say:

The first image is the search results with Start10, the second is the results using Classic Shell.

I'd very much prefer to use Start10 over ClassicShell, but this functions is pretty important to me.

What do you get if you search for The.Office as that seems to be how your files are named.

Also if you go to the desktop page in Start10 (or advanced button on that page with Start10 1.0 when it comes out), and tick the option to search outside the standard libraries does it then work?

Going into the Desktop section of Start10Config and ticking the option "Search should include files outside the standard libraries" fixed my issue!


Thank you so much! :grin:
