When Windows Search is not working, you may experience a number of symptoms. Maybe you can't type in the Windows 11 search bar, or your files or apps don't appear in the results. It's even possible that the search button won't respond at all, meaning you can't even try to start a search.

Windows 11 is still in its infancy, so bugs are expected. Future Windows updates will fix bug-related search issues. Other problems might just be perceived; some settings, when set a certain way, masquerade as a malfunction.

Regardless, all search issues in Windows 11 are software-related, so an update from Microsoft or some tweaks on your part should be enough to fix Windows Search malfunctioning.
