Windows 10 search bar crashes after typing 3 letters in search bar

[Deanosaur2000]

if i wanted to search an app/program windows 10 in the search bar, after i type in 3 letters it crashes and closes. Why does the start menu do that? I tried everything, from trying to reactivating Cortana using Powershell to using windows 10 repair. Nothing works..
I do not want to reinstall windows 10 again but if its the only way i would do it.
Any other solutions?

I would try and delete the windows search index database and rebuild it.
maybe look at this:http://www.thewindowsclub.com/windows-edb-file

there is a ui in winodws: indexing options->advanced options select the rebuild button
to delete and rebuild the index.

I tried that still keeps doing it

run cmd.exe or powershell as an admin and run

sfc.exe /scannow
DISM.EXE /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth

just to make sure you don't have a corrupted file.

otherwise, I would remove all of the search locations and add them back one at a time to see if one is causing the problem with the database. it would have to be something wrong in the file system messing up the indexing.
(file filter driver maybe)
