Please read the question, and don't try to answer just for the sake of answering.
The question was how do I search for apps, not how do I use a shortcut. The notepad was just an example of a program.
How do I search for Photoshop ? again EXAMPLE.

You can find any program with Winkey+R . I have done it. Have you ever used it. Also, use the Search Icon and search for local things. Works. Photoshop shows up with this method also.
What did you upgrade from: Windows 7 maybe?
And for your information I DO read and I have done all this stuff. Try it yourself please. It does work.

Really , even the built in windows program such as notepad, it needs to index these to .
and its been more then 48 hours.

Also upgrading from Windows 7 leaves you 4 generations of systems and 5 years behind and things have changed several times since Windows 7.
As noted above, make sure indexing is complete.
I tested both methods (all the search methods) I suggested in my Windows 10 machine and they work great. Very similar to the Windows 8.1 machine I have.

I just upgraded my Windows 8.1 machine to Windows 10 and Search is working fine.
In Search Options, I turned Web OFF so that is concentrates on Windows and it finds what I am search for. Programs go to the top in a different colour, so be sure you do not miss them.

You can search with Win Key + R and if the other search does not work, something went wrong with the update
Win Key + S opens the search that alonig1 says is not working. Works for me on 3 different Windows 10 machines.
Win Key + R opens programs and I was suggesting that alonig1 try it.

Let say I want to open photoshop , or Snipping Tool and I don't want to look for it in the menu, I should be able to open the search and start typing the application I looking for and it should pop up.
It always pops up for me, and so your upgrade must have gone wrong. See if you can run DISM to fix.
DISM /? And you want RestoreHealth
DISM /? And you want RestoreHealth
I was travelling and on my phone. If need specific instructions for DISM, they follow below and I have used them.
System File Checker:
Open cmd.exe with Run as Administrator and run SFC /SCANNOW.
Allow to complete, restart or, preferably, shut down the computer and then start up again.
Test to see if the problem has been corrected.
DISM:
Open cmd.exe with Run as Administrator.
DISM.exe /Online /Cleanup-Image /Scanhealth (takes 15 - 20 minutes).
DISM.exe /Online /Cleanup-Image /Restorehealth (takes 15 - 20 minutes).
Restart the computer and test.
You may be better of to bite the bullet, back up, start again and do the upgrade to Windows 10 again.

DISM is made for Windows 8 and 10 (and beyond). I am not sure what is wrong, but I suggest trying it to fix your issues.
