    I have never liked having a search box in the taskbar. My taskbar is for pinned programs, open programs, volume, Ethernet/wifi, and a clock. Nothing more.

    You can remove copilot from windows 11 completely now…with an outside program.

      I love having a search box on my taskbar. I want it to search my PC for installed apps and files and nothing else. I certainly don’t want to do a fucking Bing search for “Settings”

        It seems like a waste of space on the taskbar, to me

        In the Start Menu/Finder/KRunner/wofi I want it to search, but I don’t need the text input box visible at all times taking space

        yeah, I actually like it now, but that’s mostly because they made the start menu so fucked up and full of shit

        I’ve adjusted to just hitting start and typing the first few characters of what I want to open and slapping enter. I’m okay with that process, I actually kind of like it. I don’t need to look at what’s going on and I don’t need to move my hand over to the mouse. The only problem, and this is kind of a big thing, is that yeah it doesn’t search just my fucking installed programs, and sometimes it just opens another program that doesn’t even match what I typed. so the 60% success rate at best is kind of a big failure
