When I use the Word search box, why do I get can't find fora document that I know is there?

i am sorry, your question confuses me.
"Word search box?"
Find box?
The search box in the title bar is essentially a help feature.
In file (Open/Save) dialog boxes, the box is to look for particular file names.

I'd like to send you a screenshot but I don't know how.

How to attach a screenshot or file in this forum.

I assume you are typing the name of the document in the search box. Correct?


Is this Word 2016?
Word online?
Look under File>Account>About Word for version.

What do you see if you press Ctrl+F12?

I am a using Word 365. I notice that you are using Word 2013.

I am using Word 365 as well. (I picked up Word 2016 for you from your profile in the forum.)

By version, I mean the specific update release number.
File > Account

It should show near About Word.

I'm using Version 2101 BTW you need to update your profile since itshows Word 2013 and windows 8

I'm unsure who's profile you are looking at. Here is how mine displays in this thread:

What do you see if you press Ctrl+F12 when in Word?

I'll try to find it and send you a screenshot

Charles - Thanks for your help. I've found and fixed the problem. For some reason I had two document foldersand search must have been looking in the wrong one. Herm
