This is still an issue as of 1.24. Really hoping it gets fixed.

It doesn't use any more than usual while I'm waiting for it to search, but I see a spike (~20%) as soon as the searched program actually appears. When the search results are showing up immediately, it's only around 2% usage. I do have indexing disabled on this computer, but I always have. I tried enabling it, and it did not make a difference. My other computer has indexing enabled, and it also has this issue.

I have no AV other than Microsoft Defender, and nothing else I can think of that would be blocking it. Mine also goes back and forth, sometimes taking 20-30 seconds, sometimes taking less than a second, then back again. Very strange.

[quote who="Neil Banfield" reply="6" id="3848706"] If you try to run S11Search64.exe does nothing happen or do you get some sort of error? [/quote] Nothing happens, and no error.

[quote who="Neil Banfield" reply="4" id="3848555"] What other software do you have running on your computer? Also in your Start11 install folder do you have S11Search64.exe and S11Search.exe ? [/quote] It happens even when nothing is running. I'll do a clean restart, check that resource usage is normal and only system processes are running, but still it takes a long time to search for anything. Yes, I do have both of those files.

Anyone else having an issue with slow search speeds in the start menu all of a sudden? I posted a thread here with more info. I didn't have this issue in the beta, but I didn't try 1.0 or 1.1, so I'm not sure if this is new. Experiencing this across multiple computers.

Windows 10 Enterprise 21H2 / Start11 1.2 Searching for programs in the start menu can now take anywhere from 10-20 seconds. In the beta version (and all Start8 and Start10 versions) it was instantaneous. I upgraded straight from the beta, so I can't speak on 1.0 or 1.1. I tried this on a second computer and had the same issue. All search settings are disabled, aside from 'Use Start11 search in the Start11 start menu', and I've only added a dozen or so shortcuts.

Sometimes I want to move shortcuts to 'All apps', rather than pinning them, but the Windows 11 style does not allow for this. The only way to do it currently is switch to Modern style, move the shortcut to all apps, then switch back to W11 style. It would be great if this could be implemented so we can skip this step.
