Windows Search Function does not work when replacing a file in After Effects

1. Double click on missing media.

2. Attempt to search for file using Windows Search function in upper right hand side

3. Nothing happens

Windows 11. Confirmed same happening with a coworker AE 2024.4.1

Windows search functions normally in Explorer.

Purging makes no difference. Something is wrong with Adobes implementation of the file open dialog box.

Does that happen if you right click on the missing file and choose replace footage ?

does purging the memory and disk cashe or resetting AE preferences settings make any difference ?
