He elaborated that older menus were essentially just unhiding a pre-rendered, fixed layout panel with zero DPI scaling changes and no network requests. Today, the Windows 11 Start menu is constantly pulling in recommended recent documents, cloud files, and web search results.

What about not doing any network request and looking up for search's that nobody asked for?

What about showing the result that exactly matches the search query instead of a bunch of similar items?

Windows 11 start menu. The search term is "settings". The too result is "Mouse Settings". The "Settings" app is not present.

For instance, when you type in the word "add" as in, "add or remove a program", why the fuck does start show you printers?

I swear it's impossible to get to that menu via the start menu. Every time I find a way to make it the first result, they seem to change it after a few months. I'd say it's the hardest settings tab to get to.
