One thing that is not working currently, is the scriptable search isn't working now, so Microsoft broke something there. The search results can be a bit faster if Explorer is not creating icons for the items found. The green progress bar was replaced with a rotating progress indicator on W11, which indicates they "bite around the edges" of the source, but don't generally do too much to the core of how it works.
