File Explorer search Current folder option doesn't work

Good morning,

I am having a problem with my Windows 10 file explorer searches.  When I search for an item, it brings back results in for the current folder and all subfolders as it should.  When I click on "Current folder" in the search tools, however, it does nothing.  I still see all results from all subfolders.  

I believe this problem started after installing NVIDIA GeForce Experience and the latest NVIDIA driver.  I tried to do a system restore, but it seems I dont have any restore points.  That is another problem I will have to fix.  

Any help you could give me would be greatly appreciated.

    Thanks Matthew!  Your suggestion works for me. Kinds of a goofy work around but it works!

    Not sure what Microsoft was thinking.  Searching in the current folder is just messed up.

    Can you tell me what steps you are taking? I've tried it now on multiple machines. And it definitely works. Though it shouldn't be an issue. This is a basic and clear windows bug.
