Y'all remember when the start menu would actually do a good job searching and opening programs, instead of searching Bing for "Steam"? I don't want to search Bing for Steam, I want to open Steam, that is why I am typing into the start menu and not into a browser's search box. They should get their engineers on that search issue. Maybe just grab Win 7's start menu search code and put it in Win 11.

I don't think it was ever all that good

Also doing a local search doesn't make them money
