Explorer search default to more advanced options

[Mint]

Is there a way to get explorer to default to show more advanced
options when doing a file search?

I want it to search ALL folders by default.

Thanks.

Create this registry file and import it to set your 'Search' options to advanced.


1. Copy below and paste into Notepad.

----------copy inside only----------
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Search Assistant]
"UseAdvancedSearchAlways"=dword:00000001

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer]
"IncludeSubFolders"=dword:00000001
"SearchHidden"=dword:00000001
"SearchSystemDirs"=dword:00000001

----------copy inside only----------

2. Save-as "Search-Advanced.reg" (or any name + .reg)

3. Double-click or right-click and merge into the registry.
