I’ve had to do it few times now on different machines as having this on has broken the normal search completely. If bing doesn’t respond one cannot do any local search, basically breaking it completely.

Install EVERYTHING and pin it to your taskbar. Its a windows search software.

You can pin to the start menu too.

Windows has basically 2 reliable ways to launch programs. You can pin them somewhere, or you can launch Windows Explorer and navigate to the executable. Some other ways will work most of the time, but not always.

Now... I'd be happy if I find some KDE setting that makes search deterministic, because it's going on the same direction. Navigating the start menu still works all the time, but search is infuriatingly broken.

You make it run on startup. Also set a global shorcut like alt+shift+E
