AFAICT, the process labeled "Cortana" in Task Manager handles search from the taskbar/start menu whether Cortana's actually enabled or not (it's the UI side of the system search service).
- scholia 10y agoCorrect. Presumably if Microsoft gave you a way to change the filename, some people would feel happier. Which is actually a bit sad...
- criddell 10y agoMicrosoft could do a much better job communicating what exactly is happening and why.
- scholia 10y agoI agree, but there's no evidence that people care. There are hundreds of millions of consumers who don't pay attention, and hundreds of millions of businesses and programmers etc that do get the info they need, and that's the bulk of the market. There's a smallish number of geeks who can't actually seem to to figure these things out for themselves, but I don't expect that's a financially significant market. Microsoft probably thinks it's reaching them via Mary-Jo Foley, Paul Thurrot, Ed Bott etc, but maybe it's not, and maybe it should do more.
