With Windows
Search, finding a specific app or file isn’t really challenging. Of course,
Windows Search on Windows 11 and Windows 11 can be buggy and return inaccurate
results, but it’s still one of the best ways to locate a specific app, file, or
setting buried in the depths of the operating system.
Windows Search is integrated into the taskbar, so you can
click on the search button next to the Start and type or select a keyword in
the search field to find it in the operating system.
In Windows 10, you can click on the search box at the bottom
left of the taskbar. In Windows 11, the taskbar comes with a new search icon.
By default, it opens the top apps you use, as well as Windows Search highlights
which basically show content from Microsoft’s Bing.
Microsoft is
working on a search bar for Windows 11’s taskbar. As you can see in the above
screenshot, this new feature, which is under internal testing, brings back the
search bar from Windows 10. Of course, the new search bar respects Windows 11’s
modern design and WinUI 3.0
The search opens the Windows Search and it is aligned to the
left by default.
Unfortunately, you cannot right-click on the search bar to
change its settings. If you want to make any changes to the taskbar, you will
need to open the Settings app.
This new search bar is under testing and we don’t know when
it will begin rolling out to users in the Windows Insider program.
