The new Windows 10 19H1 test release extends the search to all folders and drives.

Microsoft offers Fast Ring Insider testers a new version of Windows 10 19H1 test. This version, # 18267, includes a number of minor fixes and features, as well as a new enhanced mode for the search indexer.

The new search indexing mode will allow Windows to search by default all folders and user drives, not just documents, images, videos and workstations, according to the blog's Microsoft from October 24 on the new version. To enable the new search indexing feature, users must access Search in Windows Settings and under "Search my files", select "Enhanced" in order to start the one-off indexing process.

Microsoft officials said the updated indexing process should take about 15 minutes to come into effect, although it may be longer if users have a lot of files. Users also have the option to exclude a search folder by adding it to the Excluded Folders list.

Microsoft is expected to begin deploying Windows 10 19H1 to mainstream users by April 2019.
