  • This still doesn't seem to work for some programs. E.g., "regedi" will not find regedit.exe, but "regedit" will. Commented Jul 17, 2014 at 13:57

    Seems to be that way for any MSC related search, I.e regedit, services, lusrmgr etc.. - Maybe it's by design? Commented Jul 17, 2014 at 14:08

    I can only see the second option (Don't use the index...) in the first fieldset "How to search". Does anybody else experience this behavior? I have Windows 8.1.

    @ComFreek Yup, getting the exact same issue here: puu.sh/afAel/6e6deba95e.png. I'm pretty sure 8.1 revamped the application search so it matches substrings automatically

    @ComFreek same here, not present in windows 10 neither. However the search is not working correctly... :/
