And for extra fun, sometimes you'll start typing and get "Contro" in and it will pop up "Control Panel" at the top, but then by the time your fingers have caught up and stopped typing you've got "Control Pan" and you mash the enter key and... it suddenly replaced it with a bing search for "Control Pan".
I actually generally enjoy Windows 10 as an OS, but I actively dislike the start menu search. It's worse than useless.
I just went and punched "drive" in a few times. The first couple times it gave me "Computer Management" since it's related to drivers apparently. Then it decided to give me "Create and format hard partitions". Meanwhile, the several options that contain the literal "drive" in the name are all ignored as the "Best Match".
I too am completely baffled by what sort of algorithm it's using to find and select the most relevant search results.
I have PowerToys installed and have "PowerToys Run" bound to Win+R. I use that pretty much exclusively these days as an app launcher.
