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?!

    Hello

    Look to the bar at the top left above "view" tab.  You will see now a box that looks like a calendar with white boxes, 1 red box and 2 green boxes.  This is the new icon for a date search.

    Me too.  I click in the "search" box and the Search tab does not appear.  I type in the search box, and the Search tab does not appear.  I have tried everything to get the Search tab to appear.  It doesn't.

    Dear Microsoft -- this "appearing/disappearing tab" thing is a loser.  Just pin the "search" tab.  Turn it on. Always.
