file search is not returning all results (recent files) until Windows Search service is restarted

When I realize a file search is incomplete I solve by re-starting Windows Search service. Everything will be fine but for how long? one week? 2? Maybe up to 3 then recent files won't come out from a file search. 

Happening since beginning, probably since upgraded to Windows 11. Feels is something related with file indexing but tried everything related, any hint?

    Make sure Enhanced indexing is selected if you want more comprehensive indexing while still maintaining performance.
