Windows 10 / 11 universal search feature pulls in results from the Web, your contacts list, content apps such as Wikipedia and even your email messages. Unfortunately, the search function doesn't always find files that are right there on your hard drive. By default, the operating system only searches for files that live under the \Users directory on your system drive (C:\Users for most), which includes your desktop and library folders. So, if you store all your MP3s in a folder named C:\mp3s, you like to keep your videos on your E drive or you just dragged a Word doc over to the root, none of those files will turn up in Windows 10 / 8.1's universal search.
Several Windows users face the unexpected behavior of Windows 10 which is that when searching in the Start Menu or in the Settings app, the search
returns no results or sometimes Windows Search would suddenly stop working and return no result at all.
Here are a couple of ways to make search find your files in Windows 10 / 8.1.
Restart all Running services:
Check Windows Search Service
Rebuild the Windows Search Indexer in Windows 10
Use Inbuild Troubleshooter Fix the Problem.
