After opening the start menu, I started typing the name of an app I installed (For example Firefox). There were no results. Both normally installed and store apps won't appear in the search results. Always have to use all apps menu. How can I fix this?

    Has it finished indexing the drives yet? Top of the Search says 'We are getting Search ready…' which appears to take forever...

This has been bugging me since release and i've tried all sorts to try fix it with no success until now. I noticed on my other machines that are working 100% with search that they have the User folder included in the indexing. So I added that into my problematic PC and surprise surprise its now working, I get results on all the control panel items i didn't before and it doesn't say its getting search ready!

See here for my indexing locations.

Hopefully this works for others but it may just be specific to my PC.
