Hi,

I'm new to Windows 8 but not at all computer noob.

Since I turned on a new computer, SEARCH function is not working anywhere.

I can't enter the search mode in Explorer (CTRL+F or WIN+F does simply nothing) and when I go to Start menu screen and start typing, nothing happens. When I'm in Start menu and go to search it gives me no results no matter what I type - it just says: This app can't be searched. (as you can see below).

Could you please help?

Thanks in advance.

Few hours of thinking and clicking and I finally found it.

The "Windows search" was unchecked Programs and features menu. (See attachment)

Hope it will help somebody else to solve the same issue.Untitled-1.jpg
