How to disable auto-search in folders?

[progex]

Everytime I open a file folder, instead of a normal listing of the files, I get a "search bar" on the left hand side to search in that specific folder.

How can I get rid of this and just get it to list the regular folder contents?

Thanks.

Try view > explorer bar > uncheck search and see if that gets you any closer. You can also turn off common tasks and that should make the whole left bar go away.
