Windows 10 -
Forever tiresome, is MS's insistence on excelling at inclusion -- wherever they believe it will enhance Windows -- of superfluous design tweaks, pretty pictures they believe have social interest and value, and endless links to whatever in whereverland.
For example, click on TaskBar SEARCH in Windows 10 . . .and be confronted with a pop-up having a list of "Suggested" items of interest on the left half, with the right half full of colorful links to the likes of World Athletics Championships, Ivana Trump, Ricky Martin, Tiger Woods' score today, Atlanta Braves, and whatever else MS's programmers consider supposedly pertinent to the health of this planet and universe.
And is there a means of eliminating such uselessness and retaining merely SEARCH bar capacity? Wouldn't know it from perusing Windows 10 . . .
So: Is there such an option? Any information/assistance in being able to do so will be fully appreciated.
Thank you.
@PilgrimHiker,
Yeah search is messed up because in order for it to work everything has to be index which is taxing on the hardware itself. Especially a regular hard drive. Even SSD gets worn down faster because of it, as with firefox keep trying to update to the latest page.
Look for "FileSearch EX" ( you might have to pay ). It is the only search program that gives you the traditional 98/XP search algorithm.
Reality the original search function is actually hidden deep within Post Windows XP.
There might be some other functions hidden in windows 10 via registery. Some commands are actually omitted and have to be initiated by manually putting in the terms/commands and triggering their start/stop function ( usually a 1 or 0 ).
Stumble It!
