Windows 10 1909 File Explorer Search issue

I documented some of the remaining bugs in this thread https://twitter.com/WithinRafael/status/1222244770698809345

It's not likely we'll see any further changes until the next release.

Thanks Rafael.

It is great to have search functionality working again within Explorer.

From your Twitter:

• Microsoft cumulative update KB4532695 finally fixes some search issues in File Explorer. For starters, you can now use the thing. And--hope you're sitting down--you can left AND right click inside the box too.

From Microsoft Support:

• Updates an issue that prevents File Explorer's Search Bar from pasting clipboard content using the right mouse button (right-click).

The Right-click Context Menu that appears when the search box does not have focus is clearly the main Explorer window System Menu which is normally accessible via ALT+SPACE. When the Search Box does have keyboard input focus, a right-click does not produce a context menu at all!

Please explain?

Yep, this is a bug as seen here https://twitter.com/WithinRafael/status/1222250069472108544. You'll have to give the fake textbox focus (via keyboard or left-click) before it will show the context menu.

I'll file bugs and try to push the Shell team to fix it, but I'll need your help! File bugs in Feedback Hub, tweet @WindowsInsider @jenmsft @brandonleblanc, keep making noise here, etc.

Apologies if this comment seems off-thread.  I believe it is not.  My earlier entry lamented how CTRL + S in my File Explorer 'Music' Folder, no longer responded by placing the cursor in the Search box to (say) enter "The Four Seasons" and to then display all tracks by this Group.  A correction must have been made by MS since my initial post, as the CTRL + S functionality has now returned, further improved by a drop-down list displaying all tracks by The Artist chosen..  I have actually sent Feedback to MS thanking them.  Only fair I felt.  I can now withdraw from this topic.

As long as the Shell team are aware of the problem and are hopefully working on it, thanks! 👍

The Feedback Hub tool doesn't really live up to it's name, but I'll give it another go anyway for all the help it'll provide.
