Search function no longer working on my MacBook 2019

I cannot find files I know I have on my laptop. Even putting in exactly the name of it, the search brings up random other stuff. This is a recent change. OS Sequoia 15.1.1. I have to manually find files/folders etc. Help!

MacBook Pro 16″, macOS 15.1
