keeping filters enabled across searches

Post by harryray2 »

If I search for an item and set a filter from the dropdown box the filter resets itself on the next search...Is there any way round this?

I normally do a dc:last1mins followed by a dm:last1mins....on the first search I choose my firefox filter but when I do the next search the filter reverts to Everything.

Thanks.

Normally the filter should never change.

Have you accidentally set a shortcut key to your Everything filter?:
  • In Everything, from the Search menu, click Organize filters....
  • Select the Everything filter.
  • Click Edit...
  • Please make sure the Keyboard shortcut is blank.
  • Click OK.
Are you closing the window between searches?

Please check your home filter:
  • In Everything, from the Tools menu, click Options.
  • Click the Home tab on the left.
  • Change Filter to (use last value).
  • Click OK.

Check all your filters and bookmarks for any keyboard shortcuts.
