How can I restore the Search box (by keyword/s) that used to open automatically (upper right corner) when I opened my WORD (2010) docs?

 

It disappeared.

 

I need it to locate many docs in various locations.

 

Works perfectly for my needs.

 

Help!

Answer

This is presumably a Windows Explorer setting (since the Open dialog is an Explorer window). If you click on Organize on the top bar of the Open window, "Folder and search options" is disabled, but if you open Windows Explorer (far left button on the Taskbar or Windows Key +E), then you should have this option. Unfortunately, I can't find anything on any of the Folder Options tabs (including Search) that would appear to be an option to show/not show the search box.

 

To be clear, this search box is in the Open dialog itself, not in the document (I still miss the Help search box in the top right corner of Word 2003).
