    Hello All

    "Search Again In" can not be modified or changed in appearance. As stated by RoryMcMahon you can change its location by changing the way the folder is being viewed.

    You can voice your opinion about this feature and make your own suggestions from the Windows Feedback website. The link is below. Thanks.

    I actually viewed the contents of the folder by "details" instead of "list" and it pushes the search again in to the bottom of the window.

    I've never had this option before - it takes up half of my search screen and I hate it.

    Hello,

     Do you remember where did you made changes to that settings?

    Perform the steps and check if the issue is resolved.

    a: Right click the start menu logo and select properties.

    b: Click the start menu tab and then click the customize button.

    c: Select the option Don’t search under the option Search other files and libraries and then click ok.

    Click on the link to get an idea on how to ask questions.

    Forget the search in windows exists. It is just another feature that Microsoft changed and destroyed in the process.

    Just use filelocator lite, it is just like the XP search that was actually useful
