If you’re searching for files I recommend Eveything.
Ads aside, I see they’re making the terrible mistake Apple Music made by blurring the distinction between your own content, and promoted content.
There is a reg key to add that disables bing search.
What I fucking hate, is that I exclusively use the start menu to start apps I’ve installed, but typing in the name of an app doesn’t show the installed app at all, just fucking ads. They literally took away the only functionality of the start menu unless I do a very intuitive method of reverting it.

Ooh, do share with the class!
Is that the Windows 11 search menu?
This is the start menu when you type a search.
So, like, the search button on the taskbar?
No, the start menu. This is what happens when you click the windows start menu now.
Yup
For anyone wondering, there are tools out there that will help you debloat Windows 10 and 11 and remove things like these obnoxious ads in the Start Menu. I did this last year on Windows 11 and even after countless updates, the debloating has remained. The tool I used also had an option to permanently “pause” Windows Updates too, but I didn’t choose that for the sake of security updates.
It’s terrible what Microsoft has done to the OS, overall, but for those of us who have to use it (and have control over the computer), we have this as an option to make the experience a little better, at least.
I can’t remember the exact tool I used but I highly recommend it for anyone dealing with this. There are many tools that will do this that are available and can be found by just Googling Windows debloater tool.
