- When you search for files in File Explorer (for example, by file name or file content), Windows displays the results in the "Search Results" folder.

- The "Search Results" folder is just a list of links to the actual locations of the files that match your search query.

- You can access the files as if they were grouped together in one folder, but in fact the files are in their original locations.

- Similar to Windows 10, Windows 11 offers a similar search feature in File Explorer. Again, the "Search Results" folder is a temporary view of the files that match your search criteria.

3.) Search results folder in Windows 12 (expected):



- There is no detailed information about the Search Results folder in Windows 12 yet, but it is expected that the functionality will be similar to that in Windows 10 and 11. However, Microsoft could make further improvements and optimizations to the search function to increase efficiency and usability.

4.) Conclusion on search results folder:



The "Search Results" folder in Windows is a dynamic view of the search results based on your query in File Explorer. It is not a permanent storage location, but only shows the results of your search.

Windows + R  command  %userprofile%/Searches  and you can see the saved search results.
