? windows 7 Explorer - how can I change the with of the result fields from Windows Search ?
When I do a search using windows explorer in Windows 7, often the file names are too long to see the entire length -
often, the critical differences are at the end and hidden.
how can I get search to display the entire file name?

When you Search, you can access More Items and a new Window opens. This gives files in a list.
You can:
1. Open that window full screen, or,
2. Hover over a file name and it will show you the full path.
This may help you without changing any folder structures.

I do not wish you to change operating system just to search, but I notice my Windows 8 machine neatly shows the entire path automatically in Advanced Search.

yeah - my w8 machines (all 3 of them do that too) - I was hoping there was a way I could get that better display in W7 at my workplace.

@philkryder - Thanks. I must admit I am liking Windows 8 better in this regard.

Sometimes moving the subfolder up a level or two may help.
