I like how you can find files & Folders created

It works very well!

Thank you David,
Findbar is a briliant idea of your's.
I hope it ends up on the mouse menu options,
rather than staying on keyboard shortcuts.
helps you find files when you have dyslexia,
or cannot remember how you spelt the original file name!
Merry Christmas to everyone.

I am back to thank you once again horst.epp.
Your solution worked to fixing the drop-down menu.
But as a side effect of your solution it has fixed an unrelated problem with my PC.

I am a big fan of coloured Folders.

Thank You NotNull & David,
for your answers, they where much appreciated.

Maybe I could make a suggest as an option to add such a function
to everything on the menu in Search in future updates to version 1.5
Plus maybe change the colour of Empty folders to Red
to signify the folders are empty?
