    Search in Settings window after November update


    The system Settings window has a search box in the upper right corner. Would anyone give me a single example of search term that finds anything by using that search box?

    It seems to work OK on my pre-1511 clean install. But on all updated machines it always comes up with "No results for <whatever>", regardless of what I search for. Neither clean-installed nor updated machines find anything.

    Does anyone have it working?

    :)

    Search in Settings makes settings window close

    When I do a search for something in the Settings window, as soon as I click enter, the window disappear. I tried to just type in the search box without clicking enter, but it still disappears when the results are about to come up. I use this search a lot,
    because it's a new laptop.

    I tried it in Cortana, & it does the same thing, the window closes.

    I recently had my laptop worked on my Office Depot Tech guy, & I'm wondering if he did something. Please help.

    Works fine for me (clean install of 1511). Are you still running as the built-in Administrator?

    No, in all cases I'm using a non-built-in Admin.

    Actually that was a red herring - I just checked built-in Administrator and the same search for the term wifi worked there also.

    You do seem to be having a lot of problems with your install. Have you considered clean installing again or perhaps clean installing in a VM and seeing if you get the same issues there?

    I wonder if removing "Allow indexing..." flag from drive C: has anything to do with this.

    Added: Indeed! This was the issue. Once I returned the indexing flag, it began to work.

    Could be. Mine is ticked (the default) to allow indexing of contents.

    EDIT I type too slow - good news *Smile
