    Why can't my Windows 11 File search find basic files?


    I recently switched from windows 10 to windows 11 and after the update, my search function either only finds mor recent files or none at all. For example in these pictures: I am trying to find a file called "Explosion croma key green screen" which i am certain i have because it shows up when i scroll down. But that isn't a viable option for me because i have so much stuff in my downloads folder.

    :)
