Windows 10: Best match not showing after searching for anything

Hey, all of the sudden when I search for anything on the search bar it stopped showing the result for best match, I used to be able for example to type in "calc" and it would show the calculator and I just needed to press enter to open it, now I need to manually click on it due to the "best match" option to be missing, this started like 3 days ago, I tried to run the scannow on cmd, I've also tried to restart the windows search service

Windows 10 search not finding "Best Match"

Within the last couple of days, Windows search Best Match has become defective. For instance, when I used to type "scree", my screenshots folder would be at the top of the best match results. Now I type "scree", and it gives me the Best Match of Screenshot
(181).png, and it also shows it in the search space, as if it finished typing it for me, but everything after "scree" is faded. Furthermore, when I type "screen", it shows my Best Match as "Lock Screen settings", and still doesn't list my Screenshots folder.
In fact, the only way I can get it to show my Screenshots folder at all is if I type "screensho" or more. This never used to happen. The only change to my laptop recently was the installation and uninstallation of Malwarebytes free trial. I uninstalled it
with IObit, ran CCleaner, AND restarted, and the Best Match is still wonky.

 

Change Windows Search to be documents not Best Match

Hi Francis,

It is only usual to get the Best Match on top of the search results. However, all of the files on your PC which has the keywords that you've entered should show in the search results as well.

If this is not the case for you, we can run the Search and Indexing troubleshooter. This will identify the cause of the issue and repair it for you as well. Here's how:

• Type troubleshooting in the search bar. Click Troubleshooting on the
  Control Panel.
• Click View All at the left side of the page.
• Look for Search and Indexing and click on it.
• A new window will open, click on Next. Follow the instructions.

Let us know if the steps above worked for you. We'll be glad to help should you need further assistance.

 

How to disable "best match" search suggestions

Hi. When I use the search button/cortana on my PHONE (not the desktop). How do I turn off those suggestion (it calls itself: "best match") which sometimes add unwanted words to the searched phrase or even completely rewrite it?

I am not talking about autocorrect in my keyboard, or suggested words in that line above the keyboard. I mean when I write and search for example "mass" and it changes the searched phrase to "massachusetts mutual life insurance
company".

I want to disable it because it became an unbearable annoyance
in everyday searching.
