Hello,
Sorry to hear you are having issues. Need few more details.

1. You on Windows 10 or 11? Also need its full version and OS Build number. Use Winver.exe to get these numbers.
2. Which Start11 version you have running?
3. Which Start11 start menu style you are using?
4. The search Windows open up by clicking on the search button on the taskbar or by typing on the Start Menu?

Thanks

Referring back to your screenshot, look like you have turn off Start11 search, yes? If so, do know that the search page you're using is not under Start11 control, that is Windows default search page. Turn on Start11 search and see if the same issue appear.

Thank you,

Here is what I get on my system. I disable the search icon on the taskbar. Note that there is no shifting of Search panel.
