Search Files in Windows 8

Introduction 

 
We know Windows 8 is still missing the Start button and not sure if Microsoft has any plans to put it back. I don't think so. You can download Windows 8 from your MSDN or TechNet account now. Windows 8 will be available to the public on Oct 26.
 
Windows 8 keyboard shortcuts and hotkeys are your best friend on Windows 8.
 
There are three keys you need to focus on when searching for files, apps, and settings on Windows 8.

To find files, hit WIN+F and type a file name you are looking for.
