So any time I use the bar to pull up an app on my system, I can ALSO be helping to overload my preferred Lemmy instances API, at no extra cost to me?
Nope. The search results within the Start Menu itself are still Bing (although various devs are still looking into correcting this). Only when you choose the "see web results" option will it send it to Search-Lemmy (and eventually your favorite Instance via crawling).
Ok thank god lol. Nice work!
