Search bar and indexing not working
For starters, this is a new PC i bought last week, the search bar was working when I first started using it but I probably changed some settings or something (I don't know which) that caused this. It just says "no results found for <>" when I search any of my apps but it'll show certain files, idk what the filter is right now. When I first encountered this, I tried rebuilding my index, I don't think it has ever really finished rebuilding. It's currently on 885k items indexed and 126k pending and I'm not sure if the search bar won't work till it finished indexing. My "Windows Search" service is running with startup type set to "Automatic (delayed)"; I've tried "Automatic" as well and it didn't work.

Version 25H2

Right now I'm resorting to scrolling through all my apps to find it and it's rather inconvenient, any help is appreciated.
