Works with Windows 10 too.

In Windows 8.1 file searching is much easier than Windows 7. Since Windows 8.1 adopted the same toolbar setup as Office, the functions that are available are clearly laid out at the top of your file window,

But since the toolbar changes depending on what you are doing, you won't necessarily see the Search functions. Simply click on the search box in the top right and the system will add a Search tab to the menu. All of your possible Search functions are laid out in the toolbar for easy access.
