What i find strange is, i type in a program that is recently added and listed at the top of the start menu, and it doesn't come up in the search..

Then, i tried searching again, and it comes up, 3rd time lucky.. Doesn't make sense at all!

It makes perfect sense if your indexing is very slow or broken..

If the index isn't updated instantly then they should account for that by first searching the index (for speed) and then manually trawling through the Start Menu folders for results which are missing from the index.
