Glad to know it isn't only me upset by such small nuisances
I just noticed, though, that some of my folders set as "general items, details view" were changed to "Pictures, thumbnail view" or "Music" (depending on the kind of files they contain), after applying that search fix... so I had to customise them again.

These programs offer some extra options for file explorer that help me cope with MS ever-unimproving OS, so they might be of interest:

• QTTabBar: http://qttabbar.wikidot.com/ (includes a filter field, which is very good for quick searches. it also provides tabbed navigation, with an option to place the tabs on the bottom of the screen)
• Open Shell: https://github.com/Open-Shell/Open-Shell-Menu/
