I have came across alot of blogs asking to try to update / troubleshoot windows update, but all those things did not resolve the issue for me.
Here's the final working method ❕❕.
All you need to do is execute tje below commands one by one from a Adminstrator command prompt.
REG ADD HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Search /v BingSearchEnabled /t REG_DWORD /d 0
REG ADD HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Search /v CortanaConsent /t REG_DWORD /d 0

- You don't have to restart your computer. The search will now work normally.

Well, I think there is already a hot-fix from Microsoft team to fix search problem.
Yes, mine is working correctly again without doing anything 🤷🏻♂️
Instead of fixing windows slow search mechanism, I am using "everything" much faster and can make complex searches like "all video files has 'cool' but 'nottocool' in name"
Thank
Glad to help
Thanks!
My search did not come back on its own. I have added the command line commands and it is now working fine. Thank you very much for your help. :)
Search has been fundamentally broken since Windows 10 first came out years ago. Kind of pathetic that it's not been addressed and here we are in 2020.
