    Microsoft Store Search displaying incorrect results


    Hello All,


    When I search for an app in the Microsoft Store, incorrect results are displayed.

    For example, from the Home tab if I search for iTunes, the results displayed are only for Books and Movies, even though the Type dropdown shows "All Types".

    Opening the Store app settings and resetting the app works to fix the problem momentarily.

    The image below shows the search for iTunes after the reset.

  3. Windows 10: Incorrect language is getting displayed in the search results.

    Original Title: Incorrect language in search results.

    I bought a new PC with pre-installed Japanese Windows 10.

    So then i changed my system language to russian, but search results come only in japanese. And even if i click on them it wouldn't show me anything and goes "Search results aren't quite ready yet" forever. What should i do to make Windows display correct search
    result with correct language?

    Microsoft Store Search displaying incorrect results

    Windows 10 not displaying search results for indexed shortcuts in a folder.

    Thanks Deepika,

    I had tried running this troubleshooter before, but I've just run it again with "Files don't appear in search results" and "My problem isn't listed above" ticked, and it comes up with "Issue not present" against all potential issues, and "Troubleshooting
    couldn't identify the problem", even after troubleshooting as an administrator.

    I'd be glad of any other suggestions please!
