To start any application, I hit Windows Key (the Windows Key) to start search, and then type fire to search for Firefox, and then click on it when it appears.

When I want to start, e.g., WinSCP, I sometimes remember only the SCP part. But it seems not possible to search ?SCP or *SCP for applications. It is always showing up only the applications starting with the search string.

    [Windows Search](http://superuser.com/questions/947392/windows-10-search-cant-find-any-applications-even-calculator?rq=1) has not changed in Windows 10 despite it being connected to Cortana. So there is something specific going with your configuration. – Ramhound Apr 07 '16 at 12:35
  • I tried it - I searched for `cel` and it showed me files. I then searched for `*cel` and it found Ex**cel** straight away – Dave Apr 07 '16 at 12:52
  • @Dave does this also work directly in the box next to start launcher? For me it only works if i go to the search for apps section. – Finn Apr 07 '16 at 13:04
  • I did exactly as you describe. Do you need to rebuild your index? – Dave Apr 07 '16 at 13:18
