I also found this. will try it in an hour

garegin:
ok. disabling it and and enabling it via (dism.exe /online /Disable-Feature /FeatureName:SearchEngine-Client-Package and dism.exe /online /enable-Feature /FeatureName:SearchEngine-Client-Package) fixed it. It still doesn't show up in windows features. anyone have any ideas? where does windows features get its list anyway.

Boggin:
It's part of the OS and given what you have tried, perhaps it's time to consider a Refresh.

- Did you run the file I posted ? It registeres a number of files and that's need for features in the "Settings"  menu to show up.

garegin:
no, I didn't try your tip in re-registering the system files. apparently, Windows Search shouldn't even be listed in windows features. I just disabled and re-enabled it through dism and everything works now.
