I wondered if there was one place to start that could provide me with possible diagnostics...

I have Windows 8.1. When I am doing search, Windows start searching as soon as I type the first character and if I type fast, search crashes and closes. Did somebody experience the same thing. Is there is any way to force Windows not to do any search until typing is finished?
