Where to search for a file in Windows 10?

Question

In past versions of Windows I'd go to Start → Search, put the name of the file and search the entire file tree.

In Windows 10 home version 2004 build 19041.746, when I go to Start I can only search for "windows" of system options but not for files; if I run a search on a file's name I am being referred to search it in the web via Bing web browser as if it was web data.

I went to "Windows search settings" and found data about indexing files in my PC but I don't want to index anything; I don't care how much time searching the file tree takes --- I just want to search a particular file in all non excluded folders (under "Find my files" I have changed from classic to enhanced), but where to search for a file in Windows 10?

Answer 1

You can search for a file via the search bar in the upper right of any window. The default behavior is to search from that folder and deeper.

To search your entire computer type Win + E to open the "This PC", the search bar will say "Search This PC".

If you want to search a specific drive, open that drive and the search will say "Search [Drive Name] ([Drive Letter]:)" (or whatever drive you open).

Answer 2

I have managed to do a file search from "File Explorer".

1. I have opened File Explorer directly or by opening some directory
2. I clicked to the partition I'd like to search in (gladly I have only one partition) --- Local Disk (C:)
3. I went to the small search box at the top right part of the File Explorer Window
4. I have done the search on the entire file tree

Classic style search

The classic style search of going to Start → Search no longer exists in Windows 10 but I understand from John in the comments that the closest thing existing in Windows 10 is hitting Start, typing the file name, and then, on the top of the window, from the left, switching a tab from the "All" tab to "Documents" tab; I would opine that I find this tab menu inaccessible and confusing both by graphics and by terminology "documents" instead just "files".
Moreover the "classic style" I meant to here doesn't have anything to do with the "classic/enhanced" distinction I have described in the question.
