If you want to know how serious to take this, just look at this gem:
> Enhancing Search: [...] Clearer and more trustworthy results, with results from content on your device easy to understand and clearly distinct from web results
So yeah, you still get web results in your search bar, a feature absolutely zero people want and which is just there to fake Bing success, just with a little divider now next to the applications the search failed to find.
- stevage 7mo agoNot just me then? Those integrated search features have been around for so long, and always irritating. I use macOS. Same problem. Searching your computer or searching the web are fundamentally different tasks. I'm curious if anyone actually approaches them the same.

- icedrift 7mo agoI don't like that default on mac either but in their defense it's super easy to customize. I turned off all but applications and my documents folder for spotlight search.
- wnevets 7mo agoIts one of the first things I turn off.
- lloydatkinson 7mo agoHow? I feel like every time I do my ~1 yearly Windows reinstall I need to google it and then alter half a dozen registry keys and a bunch of group policy settings, and some of them are the "old" settings now replaced with something even more vaguely named (probably on purpose).

- ray_v 7mo agoOk, I'll bite ... why are you reinstalling and reconfiguring windows on a regular, yearly basis?
- alternatetwo 7mo agoSeriously. My current Windows installs are >15 years old upgraded all the way back from Vista …
- qingcharles 7mo agoHow is that even still working? I've used Windows as my primary desktop for ~35 years and I do my absolute best to housekeep, but I still need to reinstall about once a year or so. I'm militant about installing almost nothing on my primary PC and putting all the janky apps on another PC via RDP too.
- ray_v 7mo agoDidn't someone film or document a in-place upgrade process from dos all the way up to a modern version of Windows? edit: oh, here it is! https://www.makeuseof.com/tag/can-upgrade-ms-dos-6-22-windows-8-really-want-stuff-watch/ https://www.makeuseof.com/tag/can-upgrade-ms-dos-6-22-window...
- benced 7mo agoI think most computer users dislike this but I see a ton of normal folks do this, they don't have the same conceptual boundaries folks on this site do (myself included).
- solid_fuel 7mo agoYeah, but is that a good thing? I think the lack of those conceptual boundaries are exactly why computers are so difficult to learn for some people. Access to web services, and the services themselves, still aren’t reliable enough to support this idea of a completely transparent computer experience where you don’t need to know what machine a file is on.
- xnx 7mo agoIt's crazy when the option to integrate Everything (https://www.voidtools.com/support/everything/ https://www.voidtools.com/support/everything/) is right there.
