Linus Windows search functions perfectly, but you're applying it incorrectly as a user.
Linus Windows search functions perfectly, but you're applying it incorrectly as a user.
Before anyone panics, it's all about the humor. However, recent video searches still show limited results by default. To get anything meaningful, you need to turn off web search first. Then carefully monitor what gets indexed on your device—especially which folders it includes. After that, the star menu search remains weak, mostly showing apps in the start menu. But PowerToys now scans all your hidden files and programs. In the Explorer window, you can retrieve results from within documents using text searches, even though they claim to cover everything. Still, it doesn't happen all at once or in the same spot. It's a solid improvement from Microsoft. And if you really needed web searches, they’d crash immediately because priority results are mandatory—truly impressive design!
