“Search for Devices” looks for Bluetooth devices in the vicinity and displays the devices 
it finds in My Bluetooth Places. 

To start the Search for Devices: 

• 

In the Folders pane of My Bluetooth Devices, select (highlight) a device name 

• 

Open the Bluetooth menu and select Search for Devices. 

The Bluetooth menu is only visible when My Bluetooth Places is active.  

BTW can be configured to automatically search for devices on a regular basis (Bluetooth 
Configuration Panel >Discovery tab). 

One of the advantages of Bluetooth is the mobility the wireless connections allow. 
However, mobility means that devices may move in or out of connection range during the 
time between the automatic updates performed by BTW. To be certain that the displayed 
list of devices in the neighborhood is current, or if automatic periodic inquiry is not 
enabled, force an update of the device list using the technique above. 

Some devices within connection range may not show up in the list of devices found 
because 

• 

Your device is configured to report only specific types or classes of devices 
(Bluetooth Configuration Panel >Discovery tab, on your device). 

• 

The unlisted device is configured to be non-discoverable (Bluetooth 
Configuration Panel > Accessibility tab, on the unlisted device).
