So my windows started to act strangely when I needed it badly. I couldn't search for the control panel, and many other applications, including those located in obscure places.
So I decided to fix the windows search problem. I googled it and found a lot of similar problems and different kinds of solutions, but none of them works. I have even reinstalled windows (without deleting applications).
But this thread leads me to the answer:

the answer by mrmattsir didn't work for me but it made me tried to do this:
windows explorer > Drive C: > (right-click) Properties > uncheck the allow files on this drive to have contents indexed... (apply) > recheck the allow files on this drive to have contents indexed (apply). Note: this process could take a lot of time to complete
And thank God it works, now my windows search can find the control panel, office, and other applications. : ) Awesome community, worth dearly to be a part of such a community.
