Editing search result in Elements 2022?

I am fairly new to using Elements (Windows version) and have a rookie question. After putting about 6000 photos into the Organizer section with most all photos keyworded, when I do a search the results will pop up on screen.  Then when I want to edit a specific photo from the search result I don't seem to have access to the Editor function.  I left click or right click the selected photo to no avail.  No other controls on the screen allow me to edit either. So how do I edit a photo after finding it via a search in Elements 2022?  Thanks.

Switch to the normal browsing view by clicking on the < sign followed by 'Grid' on the left of the second line.

You get back to the browsing/editing space with the selected files.

@cristphoto1, don't feel badly.  I have been using Elements for about 20 years and more often than not, I make the same mistake of instinctively clicking on the Search results images before clicking on the <Grid button described by Michel.  This is a terrible program behavior.

Yes.  I hit the "Help" at the top of the screen with no help.  I also have a book on Elements 2022 but all it says is the different ways you can make a search.  It doesn't say how to use that result after you made it.

    Thanks so much.  It seems so easy once you know the answer.
