Turn off Search Query from Windows File Explorer
It's really annoying when I’m looking for a file and it doesn’t look up by relevance. Then it also put my files in these small number groups that don’t have any relevance to the search.

This prevents Windows Explorer from using previous search data that might interfere with your searches.
- Press Windows + R, type control.exe folders, and press Enter.
- In the Folder Options window, go to the Search tab.
- Uncheck the box for "Don't use the index when searching in file folders for system files" and "Include system directories" (optional).
- Click OK.
