Can I change the order of the search results in the Windows 7 start menu?
Is it possible to change the sort order of the search results in the Windows 7 start menu? I'd like to either have them completely unsorted by the type of result they are or have files appear before outlook emails.
I tend to use the search to find files that I want to open much more than searching for emails.
Solution 1:
It's a custom sort being done by Windows itself. I've never seen any options to adjust it outside of marking which files you want indexed and which one you don't.
Solution 2:
In the Windows 7 Search box:
- Enter your search keyword
- Select "See more details"
- then in the Search windows choose the display "details" (icon in the right corner)
- right click to see more columns options and choose the ones you want
-
finally sort them by column according to the column label (by type acces date, etc. for example)...
If you want more control on your search may I suggest you to try Agent Ransack as an alternative search utility? http://www.mythicsoft.com/page.aspx?type=agentransack&page=home
