Finally changed! Microsoft Windows search function will usher in a new update

Microsoft's improvements to Windows search capabilities have been tested on some Windows Insider channels in the EU. Previously, the integrated Windows search function was criticized by users and had poor experience.

This update splits the search function into two parts: local search and Bing-based web search to improve user experience.

The new version of the search interface performs local file search by default. If you need to search online, you need to click the "Microsoft Bing Web Search" tab to switch. After switching, the search bar will display "Microsoft Bing Web Search:", where users can enter keywords. This move effectively avoids the problem of mixing local search results with Bing search results.

Currently, this improvement is being tested on the Release Preview channel of Windows 11 24H2, the Beta channel of Windows 11 23H2, and the Windows Canary channel, but it is currently limited to the EU. Users can try to change their regional settings or use third-party tools to experience it in advance.

In the future, Windows Search will also usher in major updates, and it is planned to introduce AI technology to display relevant content more accurately when users search using descriptive statements. This will be achieved through semantic indexing technology, which can better understand and memorize the semantics of the content than traditional indexing methods.
