Windows 7 Search Results Display; Undocumented Change?

    Suddenly all my windows 7 search results fail to show the TYPE field, and now they all show a useless RATING field.

    I want the ability to sort search results by type, especially since Windows insists on returning results that do not contain the search term in any way, shape, or form, in file contents or otherwise.

    Any tips appreciated...

    Hi

    A quick one to try is right click in the folder thats showing the unwelcome field and choose Properties > Search tab and Restore Defaults and then reboot and check?
    Another thing to try is to right click the Field list on RATING and then you should be given a list of options, untick RATING and choose TYPE, see if that works.

    remembering this from memory as running Win10 now and Win7 PC I do have is in pieces at present.

    I completely forgot that the column headers themselves were context menus. Thanks a million!
