This shouldn't happen. If KeePass, for example, is the best guess for an app beginning with k, ke, or kee, it must also be for keep, keepa, etc. I've never experienced what you report. Except if I misspell the app name; then it's plausible that the reaction to my last (wrong) keypress happens while my hand is in flight towards the Enter key.
- vrotaru 2y agoIt happens. It shows you the right suggestion, and if you keep typing it assumes that you meant something else and displays other suggestion. Good for slow typers, not so much for quick ones.
- jeroenhd 2y agoI have the same problem on Windows 11. Every added keystroke seems to start a new search, and the order of the results is not stable. It's not that terrible if there are only a few results, but if you leave the "search the web" feature enabled, Windows will complete your "keepa" to "keepass" and put a "search Bing for keepass" result right at the very top. How often this happens seems to depend on system load and the quality of your internet connection. It's infuriating either way.
