No file names in search

When I perform a search in the Search Results window, showing any kind
of icon view (instead of list, details, or tiles), the results show up
without file names visible. This only happens when I run a search from
the Search Results window (Windows Key + F), not when I run a search
from a folder window.

How can I get Search Results to show me file names in icon views?

I don't want to switch to list or details view; I want to display file
names under the icons like in every other search (or normal) folder.

Congratulations. Perhaps your time would be better spent if you went off
and did something technical. I just want to search for pictures and see
file names under the thumbnails.

You need to realize who you are commenting to. Stan can hardly keep up
and has major mental issues. He can't even figure out how to set his
computer clock correctly.

Hi David,

See if resetting the saved folder views can help.

I prefer Super Finder XT to Agent R. It lets me act on the search
results...

Thanks for the tip, Ramesh.

Something like it, but simpler, seems to have fixed the problem. After
performing a search I clicked Picture in the "Show only" bar. The file
names appeared! Then I went back to All view, and the file names remained.
