You need the standards button toolbar showing.  Doing that will display a
tool button for search and another for folders.

Dear Group,

In all the years I've been using Windows I've never found the answer to this
question: When viewing a folder with Windows Explorer I want to search just
that folder and its sub-folders for a file. So I press Ctrl-F and get the
"Search Companion" where the tree-list of folders was. I then click on "All
Files and Folders" and the Search form appears. I enter my criteria and
click Search. My file is found and shows up in the right-hand pane of
Windows Explorer. Now  that I know where the file is, I'd like to go back to
regular old Windows Explorer mode.

How do I do that? What option or icon do I select to "put away" the search
panes and return the Windows Explorer panes? I've never figured this out.
I've always closed the Explorer and opened it again to "reset" it.
