Windows Search Is Getting Its Biggest Upgrade in Years, but There’s a Catch
1 min read
Summary
Windows 11 is getting a major update with the addition of semantic search, or natural language search, on Copilot+ PCs with Snapdragon chips.
This will allow users to search for files or programs using more everyday language with results appearing in the search bar.
For example, a user could type ‘change my theme’ or ‘uninstall program’ instead of having to search for specific settings or file names.
It is initially only available on Copilot+ PCs running a Snapdragon chip, with no official release date for broader availability.
The push to include more AI features in Windows is part of Microsoft’s plan to encourage users to Copilot+ PCs, but many feel that this OS is currently a disaster for everyday users.
