Windows 10 search and macOS's spotlight do something like this. It's irritating when results reorder themselves milliseconds before I hit enter.
Either way I'm not sure it rises to the level of indignation shown here.
- romwell 7y agoThe only thing Windows 10 UI rises to is a paragon of lagginess - and I say that about the UI I generally like, and one that runs on 10-year-old equipment just fine. There's no good reason for a lag after hitting the "Start" button. There's no good reason for a lag in the right-mouse-button context menu in Explorer (this was a "feature" since Windows 95, however). I could go on for a long time, but let's just say that Win+R notepad is still the fastest way to start that program, because at least Win+R menu wasn't made pretty and slow (but still has history of some sorts). The search box behaves in truly mysterious ways. All I want it to do is bring up a list of programs whose name contains the substring that I just typed. It's not a task that should take more than a screen refresh, much more so in 2019. And yet, I still have no clue what it actually does - if it works at all[1].

- folmar 7y agoJust install Classic Shell (now Open-Shell). Resistance is futile.
- folmar 7y agoIt would not have a big deal to measure/guess your reaction time and wind back changes you had not chance to see.
- ultrarunner 7y agoIn fact I’m pretty sure Safari does this in its Omni-bar. Why it can’t be system wide I don’t know.
