    Hyperlink to windows search using search-ms

    I am tring to make a hyperlink to a windows search.
    E8 is cell with my search term (example: mysearch)
    E9 is cell with path (example: \\FileServer\documents\)


    So first I am just tring to make the string work before I implement in hyperlink function.
    I need path to be variable as I will send to other users and I want them to put thier path into E9

    Here is what I have so far but I can not get it to work - any help would be aprecaited.
    ="search-ms:crumb=System.Generic.String:"&E8&CHAR(38)&"crumb=location:"&E9

    Re: Hyperlink to windows search using search-ms

    Solved
    I had to replace the "\" in the path with %5c

    ="search-ms:crumb=System.Generic.String:"&e8&CHAR(38)&"crumb=location:"&SUBSTITUTE(E9,"\","%5c")
