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.

For me the trick was to disable web search. I don't remember how I did it but you can Google it. Then it was really nice and fast, as it should've always been

gotta love an OS which costs money and you have to disable features like web search for the fricking search to function properly

He probably just didn't have the program in the start menu, it's a box you check in the wizard.
