- accrual 1y agoYep. No web search. No ads or news or weather or links to apps that aren't actually installed. Opens virtually instantly. Lots of stock customization options (icon size, icon order, pinned icons, classic vs XP style, all shortcuts toggleable). The only thing I miss is the search bar - I became quite used to that with Windows 7.
- sunaookami 1y agoThe Windows XP start menu sucked, no search function and it was common to have 3 columns full of shortcuts with folders inside folders. It only got better with Windows Vista.
- bravesoul2 1y agoWin 11 has no (decent) search function
- sunaookami 1y agoIt went to shit with Windows 10, yes. But I don't use Windows anymore.
- wpm 1y agoSearch is only a boon when the menu is so poorly organized and rendered it’s hard to find shit. I never needed search in XP cause I knew where everything was. Since Windows 8.1’s fucking abomination of a Start Menu, yeah, I’d miss having search.
