Windows Search and the indexing is running. The Windows Search shows all Apps.

I also have added the named folder explicitly.

It's wonky.

 

I searched for "Microsoft Word".

 

0 results.

 

Then I checked my start menu and realized that there is no "Microsoft Word". There is a program called just simply "Word" inside my "Microsoft Office" folder.

 

So when I searched "word", that was the only thing that came up. The MS program. Why did I not get more results for the single word, "word"?

 

Weird.

 

This is my third post and may be my last because this program is borderline bloatware with some spyware mixed in. Plus no Firefox support (I know it's too hard for developers to write for FF these days. Poor guys/gals.)

 

You know what helps find local programs faster? Windows search. And I can get to it with keyboard shortcuts! Win > Tab. Simple.
