Windows 10: Search Problems and strange behavior.

Search does not work and behaves strangely


1- I click on a folder to open it. and do a search from the "Search" field in the upper right corner of the folder window

It returns “No item match your search”

2- Now, I don’t touch anything else and in the same search field, I just type “*.*”. It lists all my files.
3- Now, I do a search for a specific file among the ones it just listed. Some times it find it, sometimes it returns “No item match your search”.


What I have done:

1- I ran the Index Troubleshooter: It did not find any problem

2 - I rebuilt the search index multiple times.

After rebuilding, Search works fine until the next reboot

2- I have also reset Windows Search as described here: Run PowerShell script
https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/4520146/fix-problems-in-windows-search

It also worked well until the next reboot.


>>> I noticed that the "SearchUI.exe" service mentioned in the link above was not running and is nowhere to be found.

Is this normal?


I am running Windows 10 version 1909 build 18363.720 and I am up to date with the updates.

Hey, thanks for the suggestion! I went into my BIOS and neither "MSI Fast Boot" or "Fast Boot" were enabled. I took a few pictures of the BIOS config and of the power-related options, and attached them below.

Crucial: Whats wrong with Mail App Search Function

thanks for your suggestion, and no, the windows search index was not the problem. it's the mail app that does not work as expected:

expected behavior:

1. type a keyword
2. return search results containing that keyword

observed behavior:

1. type a keyword
2. no results
3. search online
4. still no results and no error msg
