    windows 10 search for applications in the start menu with letters contained in the name of...


    Hello, when I use windows search widows 10 version 1909 I cannot find an application by typing letters in the middle of the name: for example I can find the application Wireshark by typing "wir" and then it appears , but when I search "shark" or "*shark" or "iresh" or any patter of letters within the name, without starting with the first letter, it doesn't work. Is it the normal behavior ? Two screenshot to understand:
