When Fuzzy matching is disabled, it seems it remains active for windows store apps.
So, specifically (see screenshot), when searching for ‘wh’ to search for a whatsapp shortcut, ‘Weather’ is still being returned. When searching for ‘wp’, whatsapp is not returned (as is expected).
This behavior suggests that fuzzy matching isn’t fully disabled for certain categories like Windows Store apps, which can lead to inconsistent search results. The system may still prioritize partial keyword matches (like “wh” matching “Weather”) while ignoring expected shortcuts like “wp” for WhatsApp. It’s likely a limitation or bug in how the search index handles different app types. For users who rely heavily on WhatsApp variants and customization features, tools discussed on whtsupplus.com highlight how flexibility and control can improve overall usability beyond default system constraints.
