Where is the search results folder / directory on Windows 10, 8.1, 7?


From Windows 7 to Windows 10 you can open the folder with the last saved search results!



Content:

1.) ... Foreword to the search results directory in Windows!
2.) ... Open the directory with the saved search settings!
3.) ... Move the folder with the search results!



1.) Foreword to the search results directory in Windows!

If you regularly search for specific files in Windows, you can save the search criteria as a saved search to quickly access and run your searches without having to redo the entire search criteria. Windows stores your saved searches in your personal search folder.

2.) Open the directory with the saved search settings!

By default, Windows stores your personal searches in the user account folder %userprofile% 
(eg: "C:\Users\Nenad\Searches"). 
 
If a search has never been saved, you'll need to create a new folder called "Search" if you want to move your personal search folder. 

See: ► Exporting and printing the search results Explorer (xls, csv, txt. Html)? 
 
Windows + R command %userprofile% and open Searches folder and the saved search results can be seen.

3.) Move the folder with the search results!

You can change this and choose where to put files in this search folder somewhere else on the hard disk, another drive, or another computer on the network. Practical if you want to do a clean reinstallation of Windows 10 and do not want to do without the saved searches.
 
Open the %userprofile% folder and in the second file explorer the folder where it should be moved. 
 
Attention, it must be a move and not copy, otherwise the system registry entries are not changed correctly. 
 
PS: The quad-explorer may prove helpful here. 
 
OK, just right-click to select drag and drop and move. 
(... see Image-2) 
 
When copying the action, only one copy is created.
