    Go to Update & Security > Troubleshoot > Additional troubleshooters > Search and Indexing > Run the troubleshooter, and then follow the steps on the screen.

    Rebuild the Windows 11 search index. Open Settings by right-clicking the Start menu and selecting it from the list, and then go to Search > Searching Windows > Customize search locations > Advanced > Rebuild.

    Locate SearchUI.exe or SearchApp.exe process in the Task Manager and end it. Close Task Manager and reboot, see if it helps.

    Hello @Rachit ,

    First off, all,
    right-click anywhere on the taskbar to bring up the “Taskbar settings” option. Click on it.
    A new “Settings” window will open as shown below.
    Enable the “Search” Taskbar item if was disabled after the Windows 11 update.
    Also Please check for the updates

    Use the Windows Search and Indexing troubleshooter to try to fix any problems that may arise. To use the troubleshooter, follow these steps:

    Select Start, then select Settings.
    In Windows Settings, select Update & Security > Troubleshoot. Under Find and fix other problems, select Search and Indexing.
    Run the troubleshooter, and select any problems that apply. Windows will try to detect and solve them.

    You can also use a command prompt to open the troubleshooter. Press Windows logo key+R, enter cmd in the Open box, and then select OK. At the command prompt, run the following command:

    Console

    Copy
    msdt.exe -ep WindowsHelp id SearchDiagnostic

    End the SearchUI process to restart Windows Search by following these steps:

    Press Ctrl+Alt+Delete, and select Task Manager.
    In the Task Manager window, select the Details tab.
    In the Name column, right-click SearchUI.exe, and then select End task.
    When you're prompted to end SearchUI.exe, select End process.
    Note

    The Windows Search process will automatically restart the next time that you search.

    If this solution doesn't fix your problem, try restarting your device. Restarting will also install any pending updates.

    Run SFC
    At the command prompt, type the following command, and then press ENTER:

    sfc /scannow
    DISM.exe /Online /Cleanup-image /Restorehealth

    Reset Windows Search
    Try resetting Windows Search by using the method that's appropriate for your version of Windows.

    Select Start > Settings > System > About.

    Under Windows specifications, check which version of Windows your device is running.
