> search bar that can finally find files properly like back in Windows 7
I don’t think that quality is ever coming back. No matter what, they’re going to be connecting to bing for the top results / ads, so you’ll always have a bunch of latency and will never get back to Win 7 levels of local only performance.
It’s sad and the AI, which is mostly useless based on my experience, is going to suck up even more CPU cycles and add even more latency.
For me, it takes 5 seconds for the start search to respond on first use. My 12th gen i5 with NVMe storage and Win 11 literally runs worse than my 4th gen i7 with a first gen SSD and Win 7.
Microsoft has usurped a decade of computing gains and spent them on ads and tracking. Don’t expect anything that benefits the user in the near future.
