Hi gvstn,

Welcome to Microsoft Answers.

If you have to search for a document in a particular folder such as Documents, open the Documents folder and use the search box at the top of the open window. This will search for the file in the current folder and retrieve result accordingly.

This is specific to searching when you know the location of the file.

For different scenarios, you may opt for different search methods. You may also save your search depending on your need.

For help with saving, see:

If you still can’t find what you’re looking for, then index the whole drive and try searching once more.
