Find feature on Monterey update

Anybody else having trouble with the Find feature (aka Searching this Mac) with the Monterey update? I was always aggravated with the previous Find versions because it seemed like EVERYTHING would pop up in the search results. Now I am lucky if I can get anything to pop up at all in the results, or sometimes it takes several minutes for items to appear. It was never this slow or useless prior to the Monterey update. Really sorry I updated as I use that Find Feature a lot to find resources for my classes.
