Windows 10's broken search is on Microsoft.

When you can download a freeware tool that will find any file in the system instantly after maybe a minute of indexing you know the file search is not the problem here.

Just a month ago the only reason I could start a recently installed MS Office package on Windows 10 was its tendency to list newly installed programs first in the start menu. It did not show up anywhere else, could not be found by the search and Word could not even be set as default program for a file because the OS didn't seem to know of its existence.
