Nope, Windows Search is still on. I think I may have confused you by
using the word "Search" in subject. It's not the standard Windows
search that I'm referring to but the app search on the Start screen.
But then again, maybe they are related

I haven't upgraded to 8.1 yet. I'm not sure if I've turned indexing
off. Would that affect it doing partial matches on the Start screen?
I'll see if it does.
This all worked well when I first got the PC, so I'm pretty sure it's
just some setting I've changed without realising its effect.

Hi,
in Windows 8, when you press the start button you can then start
typing the
name of the program you want to run and you get a short list of programs
that match that search. This list used to refresh with every key I
pressed,
but now it is only refreshing when I get a complete word match.
For example, as I used to type "S" all programs with "s" in them
would get
listed, if I then typed "q", all programs with "sq" in them would be
listed.
Now, if I type "s" I get nothing, "sq" also gives me nothing, but if I
search for "sql" I get SQL server and so on listed.
Anybody have any idea what setting I have inadvertently changed?
