However if you have group policies or their registry equivalent or perhaps certain modifications in place, this may not help. All you can do is try.

This seems to match your situation closely: solution is as recommended above.
Windows 10 search not working - SearchUI.exe missing - Super User

yeah i checked registry dont have keys that disable searchui.exe so something is broken

No you don't need to reinstall programs. It's about 1 hour or so.

The tutorial now clearly states you don't need to reinstall programs.

Are you worried about reinstalling programs when you upgrade? It's the same procedure.

From the tutorial with the amendment I suggested to Brink:

How to Do a Repair Install of Windows 10 with an In-place Upgrade

If you're having problems with Windows 10 on your PC, you could use push-button reset to refresh or reset Windows.

Refresh your PC Fixes software problems by reinstalling the OS while preserving the user data, user accounts, and important settings. All other preinstalled customizations are restored to their factory state. In Windows 10, this feature no longer preserves user-acquired Windows apps.

Reset your PC prepares the PC for recycling or for transfer of ownership by reinstalling the OS, removing all user accounts and contents (e.g. data, Classic Windows applications, and Universal Windows apps), and restoring preinstalled customizations to their factory state.

The options above are great for what they are intended for, but you could also do a repair install of Windows 10 by performing an in-place upgrade without losing anything other than all installed Windows Updates.

You will keep all apps, programs and personal data, just as when you upgrade, as an in-place upgrade repair uses the same basic mechanism as when you upgrade.

No. Did you actually read the text?

As ever, before any major change- and strongly recommended you do it routinely- make sure you have a current disk image to give you another way back. Macrium reflect (free-paid). Research if you don't know about disk imaging.

yeah i know.. i went to reset pc but i have to basically reinstall everything even with keep personal files

An in-place upgrade repair install lets you keep everything.

FWIW, it works on my production PC when I use the search bar even running Start10 as my primary menuing system. I'd concur with @dalchina that a in-place repair upgrade install may fix your issues by restoring a pristine desktop and menuing/search capability.

A Reset and Repair Install are two different things. The Repair Install recommended way back in post 20 lets you keep everything except Windows. I keep the ISO on hand and I use it every so often vs wasting time trying to debug/diagnose issues. Pretty easy to do and takes 45-90 mins, depending.
