    Hello mouzakigeek, and welcome to Ten Forums. :)

    If you mean the method used in the tutorial below, then you may need to restart the computer afterwards to apply.

    Reinstalled Cortana using the following procedure:

    1. Open an elevated PowerShell window, press Win + X keys to open PowerShell.

    2. Execute following commands one at time.

    Code:
    Get-Process searchui | Stop-Process  –Force
    
    Get-AppXPackage -Name Microsoft.Windows.Cortana | Foreach {Add-AppxPackage -DisableDevelopmentMode -Register "$($_.InstallLocation)\AppXManifest.xml"}
    
    3. Restart your computer.

    What happens when you type into Cortana does it list your search option?

    In that case, you may need to do a repair install to fix Cortana.
