A few weeks ago the Windows search box was broken for me, but I was in the middle of something where I couldn't restart my computer. That was the first time I'd used the Start Menu to open applications in 4 or 5 years. I only use Start to find the "shutdown" button. Yes, it's faster to search by the name of the application than to click through the Start Menu for it. I also use it for the Control Panel items I open most often. For example I start typing "ethernet" and then click "ethernet settings" as soon as it appears and I type "device" and click on "device manager".
I don't generally search for settings in a device. Maybe I'll try it. -----Original Message----- From: AF <[email protected]> On Behalf Of Nate Burke Sent: Monday, July 31, 2023 4:38 PM To: Animal Farm <[email protected]> Subject: [AFMUG] Are you reliant on searching? We've got a new employee in his 20's. He never browses for programs off his start menu, but uses the windows search box for everything. Anything that has a search box, he types into that. I didn't even know that the Grandstream UCM's had a search function, but he only uses that to find settings to change. Is this normal behavior now? Is it actually faster? -- AF mailing list [email protected] http://af.afmug.com/mailman/listinfo/af_af.afmug.com -- AF mailing list [email protected] http://af.afmug.com/mailman/listinfo/af_af.afmug.com
