The search option isn't working or isn't working properly

Windows 11 PRO 25h2

Premiere 25.6.5

File search is not working in the Project section, Graphics Templates, and the Premiere Composer plugin. It can't find footage, sounds, or images. Even if the filename contains only a number, such as 2. I know there's a file named 2 in the project, but the search can't find it. The same goes for all the other files. How can I find the files I need in a project when there are hundreds of them? I just updated to the new version of the program today, and nothing has changed. Searching for these files works in DaVinci Resolve, so there's nothing wrong with the files. And since the files are in different languages, language can also be ruled out as a potential issue

    Hi ​@Paul_Gringo -   Thanks for submitting your bug report. We need a few more details to try to help with the issue.  Please see, How to Report a Problem?

    Can you close Premiere then navigate to your Profile-Username in documents and delete the files metadatacache.prmdc2, metadatacache.prmdc2-shm, metadatacache.prmd2-wal and then relaunch premiere.
