I've had my laptop with Windows 8 for about two weeks, and in that time I've used the app/setting/file search frequently with no problems. However, when I tried to use the file search last night, the whole thing stopped working. It failed to find any files, with the loading dots just staying there, but more importantly I couldn't switch to the app search or setting search (which both still work) or any other of the options on that screen, and I couldn't use the Windows button to get away from that screen. The only way I could find to escape it was to press Ctrl-Alt-Del and sign out; switching user got me out, but upon re-entering I was just faced with the same screen. The same thing now happens every time I try to use the file search. I have no idea how this problem has occurred, and would greatly appreciate any assistance that could be provided.
EDIT: I just activated the guest account, and the file search worked just fine there, so the problem's localised to my account.
DOUBLE EDIT: Well, the problem fixed itself. Thanks for the advice though!
