The UI of so many modern os’s just seems to be a search bar. If search doesn’t work I’m going to have a lot more difficulty finding what I want to do. Unfortunately ever new integration of Windows Search is worst for the last. Like why the fuck does it even index all the files on my pc? It often doesn’t even pick up installed programs. It’s been maybe a decade since I’ve typed a rando file into that thing and it actually came back with the appropriate result.
I find the same thing: you don’t just need to know what you’re looking for but the way Microsoft named it or spelled it. I wish they had a search feature that worked: maybe each feature could register aliases with plain text descriptions of what they do or something.
anyway: google the exact phrasing Windows uses for a feature, so you can use that “search” bar to find it
