Question: On Windows 7, my current workflow for starting applications is:
Widows key + start typing app name
This starts searching the start menu and installed apps. I press enter and bam -- no mouse requried.
Is there something comparable for Windows 8?
- yohui 15y agoIt's still the same. The new Start screen doesn't explicitly show a search box, but it'll start searching as soon as you type something.
- Permit 15y agoYeah I really wondered about that as a UI decision. I'm sure many of the users here will figure that sort of thing out, but I'm curious whether or not my parents will ever discover the existence of that sort of thing.
- freehunter 15y agoMy parents never noticed the search box in Windows 7, got confused when I mentioned it. Working tech support when my company released Windows 7 laptops to the employees, very few of them understood the search box either. I think it will take a few software generations before people really "get" it.
