#102I can only imagine what kind of images Bing would show for this search

As far as I can tell, it already does this, and it's my most hated "feature". The delay while it does the search, combined with everything shuffling around at the end of that delay is terrible for me. Personally, if I want to use the web, I'll open a browser. That's not the role I have for my OS, I don't want. And if it does have that capability, providing an alternate search engine should be doable, and it should re…
It doesn't do this, because it's not smart and treat everything the same way. You first need to figure out what kind of content the user is talking about, and then go around that. Microsoft system doesn't care if you're typing calc.exe or John Smith or 8x9 it will do the crappy web search, crappy app search, crappy store search, crappy calendar search, and vomit a mix of useless results in your face. That's what make…
KDE and macOS managed. I don't understand why Microsoft cannot.
Maybe there are external forces preventing them. Be it patents or even just the threat of being accused of anti-competitive practices again?

#105Isn't it also the most searched-for term on Google? People just type "google" in the address bar when they want to go to a search engine.
>People just type "google" in the address bar when they want to go to a search engine. Is this still common? Modern browsers will give an option to run a search directly from the URL bar, or automatically search anything not a URL... I haven't actually had to "go to a search engine" to search in a long time.
Non-technical people do weird things.

There has simply never been a product or feature in the search world (online or offline) where Microsoft got it, everything they have that works is when they dropped their idea and just copied whatever the other guys were doing.
For me they just don't get search, like, the very idea of search or not just searching, it's understanding what you're searching for. And when you bring that down to the start menu, it become super clear and obvious that they're out of their league.

Seriously, Reddit should integrate googles search bar. Reddit’s default search results SUCK 100% of the time.

Early into my career I had a corporate job and virtually all of my coworkers would follow the same approach:
1. type 'google' into the address bar
2. type the name of a major website into the search bar, e.g. 'cnn'
3. click on the cnn link at the top of the search results
I always asked them why they wouldn't simply type cnn.com in the address bar, but the only response I got was a confused look
People simply don't understand URLs. Google has made it so easy to find their destination that they'd rather waste 3 clicks than learn how to browse the web efficiently
Re: 'Google' is most searched word on Bing
#109Dear Microsoft, You fools, you own a gate to the internet. When i search 8*9 in the start menu, show me the result of the multiplication instead of a link to "search web for 8*9". Make the menu auto-complete with the titles of the first 5 web results instead of random ads. Make it work well as an actually useful extension of search. Forget about edge and bing.com, you will care about the brand name later. (You can th…
all the devs are Mac/Linux first. thats all Im going to say because the rest isnt nice.

No thanks, I'd rather have a simple and obvious checkbox to disable all this sleazy web crap in the Windows UI. If I want to search the web, I use a web browser. If I want to search my machine, I would like to use the Windows search feature ( if it would actually work).
I get really annoyed when I shop for a part number that has a - and $searchEngine just wants to show me the answer to a subtraction question.
