What's the difference between this and the search bar in the start menu?
- batrat 2y agoFor me is 10X faster and it finds what I need. For example if I search for "power" it shows powerautomate (why??) , powerpoint, powershell in this order. No powertoys. Also if I dont have internet it takes ages before it shows somethig in search. Yea it's much more usefull.
- jve 2y agoEverything works always and searches everything. Windows start... I don' t even know if search works or file not found. And is way slower.

- alisonatwork 2y agoIt seems the sibling commenters don't know about the DisableSearchBoxSuggestions registry option, which I highly recommend keyboard users of Windows to set up on every system they work with. When the setting is applied the start menu will go back to the old behavior where results appear instantly and always point to your local machine. I'm sure dedicated launchers can do an even better job for deep searches, but personally I've never found myself particularly slowed down by the built-in behavior after disabling that borked web search functionality.
