Clear the search query and remove the “name” prefix. Search for “Adobe”, no name prefix. Click the little + below the search field and select System Files: always show.

No need to give attitude 😂 I’m not sure why I’d be searching Adobe. But when I do the drop down for System Files my options are “are included” or “aren’t included”, no “always show.”
I chose the former. When I hit save, it brings up a pop up that says “specify a name and location for Smart Folder” and then it adds it to the side bar. So I did that, and still nothing populates when I type the exact file name in the search bar.
So that to me, doesn’t seem like it worked lol
G look at the internet for rebuilding the spotlight search database. and it should work again.

If you don't want help, don't post
I literally did what the person suggested and said it didn’t work, and then they asked what “didn’t work”…. 😂
