For my “convenience” and because in this way they can show ads and clickbait

Also: I SET A FUCKING GROUP POLICY THAT DISABLES THE SEARCH BAR; WHY THEY FUCKING IGNORE IT???

    it’s a useless duplicate that takes useful screen estate. You can open the start menu, and if you start typing, the search bar appears. It doesn’t need to waste 20% of the taskbar for that

    But anyway, the search is broken. It gives priority to web searches, so if you want to search “libreoffice”, to open “libreoffice writer”, it suggests “libreoffice download” which is pointless. I replaced it with “powertoys run” and now i get useful results.

      some people don’t know that, and it isn’t made obvious, so having it by default on is great i think… but, enabling it at random for no reason? that’s ridiculous
