- Santosh83 7y agoWeird. I too have qBittorent installed and the Start menu search finds it as first option when I type 'bitt' ('bit' gives 64-bit Python launcher)... not too shabby.
- thegeekpirate 7y ago"bitt" shows me zero results, but "bitto" (all the way to "bittorrent") works. It's beyond b0rked!
- brianpgordon 7y agoSame. And "torrent" returns no results at all. :/
- Semaphor 7y agoFunny. "bitt" -> nothing. "bitto" -> works. "bitt" -> now works as well.
- iad 7y agoI have qBittorrent installed. For me searching "bitt" displays only "Battle.net", which is not even a valid match. hilarious.
- thegeekpirate 7y agoGood catch, so if you type "bitto" then hit backspace to "bitt", it works, but hit backspace again ("bit") and it'll disappear (it even shows me "Notepad", because why not)!
- e12e 7y agoAt this point in this thread, I'm starting to hope someone reverse engineer windows search, and do a write-up of how the indexing, stemming and search actually works...

- CathedralBorrow 7y agoYeah I assume this is some indexing snafu. Or who knows. I enjoy this behavior more than it annoys me nowadays :)

- Xelbair 7y agoWhen looking for QGis i write: Q -> nothing Qg/Qg -> Qgis QGi -> nothing Qgis -> websearch
- emn13 7y agoYeah; that's pretty standard, alas :-(
- jeen02 7y agobi -> Random file bit -> Bitlocker bitt -> qBittorrent (yay!) bitto to bittorent -> web search
