Search, share, and settings
There are charms to help you find things, share stuff, and change your settings.
How to search
The Search charm uses Bing Smart Search to search your Surface, the web, and SkyDrive, plus some apps and the
Windows Store. Here’s how to search:
1. Open the Search charm, and then type what you want to find. As you type, you’ll see search results and
suggestions.
2. If you see what you’re looking for, tap or click it to open it.
3. To see more results, including web results from Bing, tap or click the Search button .
4. On the search results page, tap or click a search result to open it. For example, tap a song to start playing
it or a webpage to open it.
Search includes items from the web (like webpages and videos), files from your Surface and SkyDrive, apps, and
Windows settings.
