    How Do I Increase The Number Of Search Suggestions Windows 7 Explorer


    Hi, when I do a search in my Windows 7 Explorer (not IE) search box, the box only shows 3 past searches in the history suggestions, and I want to increase that number. For example, now it shows::

    "Control
    Interest
    book"

    I want it to display more than 10, for instance::

    "Control
    Interest
    book
    hunger
    games
    harrison
    job
    etc"

    I have looked everywhere on the internet, and only can come up with either deleting the history or enabling it, via the wordwheelquery in the Registry...so is there a way to do this or am I stuck with only the 3 last searches.

    Need either a registry edit or a way to do this without using a registry edit, thanks so much.

    Hello and welcome to Seven Forums.

    I use File Locator Lite for searching.
    It's free, easy to use, works well, and I think the default history list is 20.
