Hi all. I will right-click on a folder, or file, and the pop up comes up with the usual "Cut", "Copy", "Delete", "Properties", etc choices. There is no "Search" or "Find" choices. You know, to find a file name using a key word... Is something turned off?

2. RE :" Find " missing in right context menu.
I don't recall I ever saw FIND in the right click context menu.
I do know that on any window, if you press Ctrl + F, you will have a FIND/Search box opened up
