Windows 10 File Explorer Search Not Working

Super User Asked on February 15, 2021

Using Windows 10 Pro 64bit. When I type something in the top right Search box of the File Explorer nothing happens. However it does work in Safe Mode.
How do I fix this?

As a workaround, use Cortana

As per Microsoft Support, the preferred method of Search in Windows 10 is Cortana, accessed by clicking the box on the bottom left-hand side of the screen where it says 'Type here to search'.

Type the name of a document (or a keyword from it) into the search box on the taskbar. You'll see results for documents across your PC and OneDrive under 'Best match'.
