Sorry, I see the search field you're talking about. I use the quick
filter bar almost exclusively. It's quick, but the disadvantage is that
it's just filtering the current folder. The quick filter bar is what I
described below.
To use the field that you're talking about, a shift-tab away from the
list of folders, just type the word or string you want to search for and
press enter. You'll now get a tab with all sorts of ways to drill down
into what you're looking for. Like I said, I don't tend to use this
search feature myself, since I just tend to use the quick filter bar.
Good luck!
