[WIN8] Why can't search find many of my programs?

If I had XP Pro, all my programs would be listed in Start/Programs even if that meant 5 columns of programs. How come with Win 8 that a bunch of my programs are not listed at Start/all programs (I use Start8)? Why, even when I search by name for programs a lot of them are NOT found? Not all programs are on the C drive. Many are on the D drive (my 2TB data drive). My C drive is only 256GB MSATA drive. If I remember the name of the program, I can find it by doing a search on Metro but it is found as a FILE not as a program. That's absurd. Plus, why does SEARCH not work on Desktop to find all my programs? Now I am starting to dislike Windows 8 all over again. It is absurd to expect me to remember the exact name of every program I have! And absurd to force me to Metro search to find the programs which have names that I recall. -- When governments fear people, there is liberty. When the people fear the government, there is tyranny.
