- saagarjha 7y agoI mean, how else do you expect web searches to work?
- mr__y 7y agoI would expect them to send search the query if and when I search for something and send exactly nothing when I don't
- saagarjha 7y agoAren't you literally searching for something in this case?
- mcbits 7y agoYes, searching for a local file or program 100% of the time because I would never intentionally search for anything else from there. That's specifically for Windows Start. If Ubuntu or Siri "web searches" are clearly distinguished from OS searches, then of course I'd expect them to send data somewhere.
- lrem 7y agoWait, how do you know that does search per keypress? I've just tried in Windows, and it doesn't seem to do anything until I press enter when the loupe is selected.
