Microsoft is listening to feedback and rolling out improvements to the Windows Search Box designed to help you find apps, files, settings, and web results faster and more reliably. The search home screen is getting less cluttered, making it easy to find your most recent searches.
Search now will do a better job of showing you exactly where it found the results, be it an app, a setting, a file, something on the web, or the Microsoft Store. You’ll know what you’re clicking before you click it. You’ll be able to take control of your search results under the Settings menu, Privacy and Security, and then search, letting you choose what results will or won’t appear. For example, you can leave out web results or Microsoft Store results. Local results are prioritized, and you can even expect better app results with typos mixed in.
Ranking improvements help with more relevant results using cloud and connected files. Of course, more tuning will come with time and feedback.
