Has not found a search issue??
Well, how about, it doesn't search?!
90% of the time I can't find whatever I'm looking for [whether it's an application or a file]!

On Mac -Using Spotlight all the time.
On Windows - Disabled this useless service. How's that for "resolved"?

Microsoft can't find a problem because they don't disable Cortana and other invasive spying processes with programs like O&O's ShutUP10 and similar apps that many users use. Disabling some of the invasive processes is what triggered SearchUI.exe to go nuts. The fix was re-enabling Cortana again.

I have Cortana turned off and I don’t have any problems whatsoever but their search still stinks

This was with .329 build. They've mostly resolved it with .385 finally. The temporary "fix" before to appease SearchUI.exe was to enable these two registry entries:


[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Search]
"AllowCortana"=dword:00000001
"BingSearchEnabled"=dword:00000001
