Start 11 Search Not Working

from Stardock Forums

Operating System: Windows 11 21H2 (22000.1098)

Start 11 Version: 1.31 (and whatever version came before it.)

 

Started having problems with searching yesterday, the issue has persisted multiple reboots and a Start 11 update.

The default Windows Start Menu search works perfectly, no issues. Start 11 menu search is blank, one time it loaded up the search results and then went blank after a couple of seconds without any additional input. Even if I am patient and leave the Start 11 search open for a few minutes the results remain blank.

Even though the menu is blank, and I can't click anything anywhere. If I press enter after searching for firefox it launches firefox - despite the menu appearing blank.

Attached images show the default windows 11 start menu search vs the start 11 start menu search.

All other functionality of start 11 appears to be working normally.

Here's an image of my Start 11 Search settings.

.

As well as my Windows version information.

If you disable the use start10 style search does it then work correctly?

No, it does not. This was one of the first things I tried, and I've tried playing with the Start 11 search settings quite a bit, but all yield the same blank results.
