Hey guys.

I have a new problem. My Windows file Explorer no longer has a find
function or dialog.

Hitting Ctrl+logokey+F yields an error:

"The active directory domain service is currently unavailable."

Is this common? Is there a known solution?

Thanks for any assistance in this matter.

Hi,
What operating system are you using?
What are you trying to find?
My best hunch is that you should use Ctrl+F instead of Ctrl+Winkey+F

Did you try pressing F3 or Ctrl-e ; )

Win-F opens a disfunctional Search Results window for me in W7. So I
would try Win-E and F3 instead--less work and less annoying getting that
working than starting from the other.

BTW you may not be missing much. I still find that dir/a/b/s in a cmd
window beats a Windows Search more often than not. Even PowerShell's dir
can be faster!


Good luck
