How 'add a search filter' when it is always grayed out?

In Windows 7, 64 bit, in file Explorer, I am unable to add a search filter because it is grayed out in the search menu.

My only options are the Date and size

I've been reading about all the advanced options, but I can find no answer to how you activate this menu option.

Thank you

It is the text in blue, not a blue box.  In this photo, you can see that I did my wider research field in the folder my documents, so more filter buttons appeared:

For example, I could click on the authors: button to filter by any author of the file.

  • Sign Me In when Skype starts is grayed out

    Hi all

    PC running Windows 7. My updated Skype updated to 7.17 on 1/8 and now today 7,18. Since the 7.17 install, my credentials are no longer save and "Sign me in when Skype starts" is grayed out and I can't check. My username will save even more. In addition to this, whenever I connect now, I receive notifications about files sent by someone who sent me a weeks file, and he keeps asking me to configure my camera. I tried to uninstall, delete the folder appdata and reinstalling several times, but no luck.

  • How can I import from Outlook 2007 when the option is grayed out?

    I'm moving from Outlook 2007 to Thunderbird. All is well until now, but I need to import my old mails from Outlook. When I go to tools > import > Mail I get options for Eudora, Outlook, and Outlook Express. Eudora and Outlook options are grayed out. The option for Outlook Express is available, but who isn't even an option for me, since I am on Windows 7.

    I've read a few articles, and they point out that you must always have Outlook installed and configured as the default e-mail client. I made sure Outlook is set as the default mail client, but the import option is still grayed out. I tried restarting both Outlook and Thunderbird. I also tried the import with Outlook open and closed.

    Any help would be appreciated.

  • Filter of color/side/Label/genre always grayed out?

    In my LR 3.2 (Windows 7 64), orders of the submenu sub filter by color, side, Label, genre are still grayed out, regardless of the source (even with a new catalogue) or catalog.   See the screen capture below.  I know that I can activate filters and get this functionality by other means.  But the menus are practical.  Am I missing something painfully obvious?   The aid does not seem to help.

    John,

    It seems that these filters can only be selected when the attribute filter is active in the filter bar (or by choosing 'Activate the filters' in the same menu).

  • Add search filters are grayed out in WIndows 7

    Add search filters are grayed out in WIndows 7. I need to add more search filters, but can not add more search filters.

    I guess that you are referring to the search box in Windows Explorer.

    The entry "Add a search filter" is not active.  It's just a Cape for the pre-defined search filters shown below.

    To verify that you can see any of the predefined search, filters, drag the left edge of the search box of Windows Explorer to the left & it will expand.

    If you are in a library folder if poster more pre-defined search filters than the two that appear if you are in, for example, a folder in C:Users\yourusername\Documents\...

  • Error message when you try to download Windows Defender: "first remove Microsoft Client Protection." Cannot find this file through the Add/Remove, search, including hidden or Win Explorer.

    Original title: trying to download

    WinXP SP3, Security Scan run and d/ld: error message when you try to download Windows Defender: "first remove Microsoft Client Protection." Cannot find this file through the Add/Remove, search, including hidden or Win Explorer. What to do now would be much appreciated.

    Also have a related problem about MS Maliciouws software removal tool. For download, but read in the KB that: in XP, the vacuum cleaner will remove the malware, but doing so may trigger the File Protection Win with damages to my operating system.  the tool will attempt to repair the damage, but to rehabilitate prior to infection, that I need to insert the CD of Win. As my computer came with Windows preinstalled, I do not have a disk and will not take the risk of damage, that I can't fix. Do I not download or not... ? Another solution... ?  I also fear that this tool could settle into the routine Win Update and need guidance on the prevention of this facility, if possible, or what to do if it cannot be prevented.

    It can have nothing to do with any of the foregoing. " I'm relaying only because it occurred during the same mission of update: had msg of error that Win Firewall has not been set as a default, which reset, but found this hidden file when searching for the Protection of the customer: "Win 32/Hackdef' - it was a config with the extension ini file and was deleted by Scan."

    Hello

    ·         You have Microsoft Security Essentials on your computer?

    If you have windows installed on your computer security essentials, then you will not be able to install Windows defender. Windows Security Essentials has antispyware component installed.

    You get the error because you have installed MS Security Essentials, which has its own function to antimalware. You don't need or want to install Windows Defender, too. Leave MS Security Essentials installed and do not turn it off.
