    It works inconsistently for me to the point that I just can’t rely on it.

    I can give a very recent example, my W11 has also be freshly installed and there’s not much stuff installed yet.

    I have portable version of HWinfo located in My Documents folder.

    If I start typing “hwi” into search it will sometimes find it, sometimes it will find it only if I type “hw” but not find it if I type “hwi” so if I type fast I must then delete character… And sometimes it needs me to type whole name of the application and sometimes it won’t find anything no matter what I type.

    Then there is Riva Tuner Statistics Server which is an installed application located on C: in Program Files folder. It launches with RTSS.exe… It may as well not exist for Windows search because no matter what I type it can’t ever find it.
