Default How to open multiple docs in File Seach tool.

When I use the File Search facility to find documents that have say a certain
word in their name and it does find 5 docs, how can I select ALL or some for
Word to open.

I can only open 1 and then it loses the other 4 and I have to search again.

Use the search tool in Windows Explorer. Select all the files you want to
open and open them from there.
Provided you leave Explorer open at that folder, it will stay open with the
searched files displayed.
