For me Windows Explorer search became useful when I learned about its syntax. I can't remember it exactly right now, but I think it's something like `name:*.jpg` for example (and worst thing is it's localized, so you have to use whatever Windows Language you use). This way it does not try to be smart and just searches for file names. I think that in default mode it searches inside an indexed files or something like that, which probably is useful for ordinary users trying to search inside theirs docs.

Now selecting Help in the menu opens a web page in Edge regardless of your default browser, or in an awkward, sluggish help minibrowser app. The query syntax should be available offline right in the operating system, not in a web page.
