@Tim_G Thank you for that.
Sadly our DFL doesn't support this.....

That is probably what is missing.

Finally back to this. So I did some testing to try to figure out if I was crazy. The application that I specifically tested was "Game Manager" because my daughter has it installed on her Windows 10 and I have it on the big Windows 10 laptop that we use for games. On one system doing "Windows Button -> "Game" " brings it up. On the other, it does not. It's the same app, the same OS, nothing altered on either and the same process gives two different results. In both cases I've discovered that typing BFG will bring up the app as that is part of the executable file name. But the name of the app is Game Manager on both systems identically and both display it the same, but only one finds that in search.

Great, you confirmed different behavior. Now confirm if the system is actually indexing the same. We get that you did not do anything different to your knowledge, but that does not explain the issue.
Control Panel -> Indexing Options

Also note that the search only displays a small list of results. It doesn't display everything. So, for example, if you had six apps with "Game" in the title, it might only display three of them. You can display more by filtering on Apps in your search settings.

That makes sense. In this case, one displayed one and the other nothing, however. Not a long list
