Hello,

I have installed the latest update of windows 10 (home and pro).

Windows 10 Pro - 1909 (v. 18363.476)

Now the "search" tab is no longer in the folders and I can't clear the search history either. Where is this tab?!

    I understood perfectly.   the tab does not appear and has not been on my machine since installing 365 that I am paying for.  This feature is essential.  It is a major FU by microsoft that should have been corrected before this program hit the market.  and certainly soon after.  It adds hours if not days to searches by date, year, day, month......

    doesnt do it for me

    Sara, leo means that you enter your keyword for searching in the textbox and hit <return>.  E.g. enter 'a' and then hit <return>.  The Search Tab will show up.
