    And maybe I’m using it wrong, but it just…doesn’t work. I use spotlight search on my MacBook to find programs and things and it just finds them. It’s fast enough to be faster than me opening things off the dock.

    I try to use the search on my wife’s Win11 computer and half the time it sends me to a website for a program she already has installed.

    Like if you want to imitate, even badly, the imitation should at least be functional.

      There’s a reason they made PowerToys Run. It’s miles ahead of the default Windows search experience.

        feels to me that people who work on other parts of the OS are getting fed up with the default shell experience to such an extent that they have to build their own skunkwoks solutions

      There’s a registry key to make it not search online

      It still doesn’t work very well tho
