When I select or double-click on most of the files the search window opens instead. If I right click option 1 is "search". This change happened suddenly. How to get back to normal?

I tried "folder options" and change the folder options with no luck.  Then set the folder to Preset Options with no luck.  It happened all of a sudden.  My photos, my Docs, my computer, some Office files - I right click and arrow down to open I want to open the file instead of just double click or use the arrow keys to highlight and press ENTER to open.  Whenever the search will open in a new window.
