There are ways to make the search bar useful
This comment requires more detail. As far as I can tell the search bar is only useful for typing “cmd” and getting a command prompt window. I’m pretty sure that’s all I ever use it for…
Windows search sucks balls so hard it boggles the mind how it can suck so bad. It’s like they created the search bar for Windows XP and haven’t updated it since. How can a company with so many smart people create something that shitty and never fix it?
So anyway, if I’m missing the toggle for “make windows search not suck”, please fill me in.
Yea I’ll install something and try to search for it a week later just to open it faster and Bing is like “oh here’s some tasty breakfast places near you” then provide restaurants near North Korea.

just redirect it to another browser. Then you can use it like a search engine.
Yes, the only way to make it useful is disabling it and use a complete replacement like keypirinha (Foss but abandoned) or powertoys run (Foss but looks like no contribution allowed and 100% controlled by Microsoft)
