We all use the search functionality in Windows 11 daily to find and launch apps, look for information on the web, and find files, folders, and settings.

Windows 11 offers multiple options to initiate a search. You can initiate a search from the taskbar, Start menu, or keyboard shortcut.

Initiate a search from the Start menu in Windows 11

With Windows 11, Microsoft re-introduced the Start menu search box. As you likely know, the search box is not present in Windows 10 Start menu.

On a Windows 11 PC, open the Start menu, and click on the search box in the Start menu to automatically switch to the search menu or search home, where you can type your search keyword.

    If you went into an actual store (often Sears for an example) you’d find at least TWO shelves of Microsoft Products made for Windows.

    All I know is I really believe MS should go back to making SOFTWARE for Windows like they did in the 9X era covering a wide spread of categories which you would insert the Windows Disc and browse if you wanted. Some even had playable demos! Back then not every software could do demos due to limitations but now a days MS could get rid of CD’s and just sell Windows via USB sticks.
