File Explorer search Current folder option doesn't work

I'm having the same problem. What is the solution?

So I tested it with date ranges (not a feature I have used often) and the command still works when typed into the search field, its just the context UI that's supposed to help you fill them in thats busted.  "datemodified:x/xx/xxxx..y/yy/yyyy" being that string, I have no idea what the one for inside a file is.  I agree, I really don't see why there is not a solution to this UI bug.  I don't think its broken by a windows update since it seems to happen at various times, but apparently something is breaking it in a LOT of computers.

Thanks for this info but  none of the advanced search options on the search tools menu work any more.

eg. Being able to set a actual date or date range or search for a word in a file name only and not the entire file contents.

It's a complete mess, why did they mess it up? Win XP & Win 7 had better search mechanisms.

I've been having this problem and others for a year..ish.  It seems to me there is something messed up with the some of the context menus in file explorer, some of the advice here indicates that to me as well.  Clicking the "current folder" button should append the 'folderpath:...." to the search string and it just does not.  When I ran into a similar context menu problem (file explorer would not pop up the CD context menu when a CD was in the drive (which was an easy way to create an .iso) I looked around the internet and eventually found some shady looking registry edit that got it working...sort of.  I have to wonder if something similar would work here, and what the underlying thing is that's broken to make these context options not work as intended.     Thanks for some of the advice in this thread though!

GREAT !!!!!!
