I'm not certain the search is stopping, Files shows that it's not loading anything, but CPU usage goes from 0.1% when idle to around 10% start of search and stays there for about 10 seconds before decreasing only a lit bit around 5-8% when backing out to the home page or empty folder. Although this is much less than 4.1.5 staying around 25-30% after backing out Search results are shown same as 4.1.5 |

Resolved / Related Issues
Fixed an issue where search queries kept running in the background even after the user cleared the search, navigated to a different folder, or closed the tab, causing sustained CPU usage.
Closes #18393
Steps used to test these changes
Note: A brief CPU in Files.exe after cancellation is expected due to Windows Search runs as an in-process COM server and its native thread pool work drains briefly after the .NET task unblocks. Please find the profiler screenshot attached
