🔎 Microsoft is testing a set of Windows Search improvements for Windows Insiders in the Experimental channel. The update makes search cleaner, easier to use, and more accurate across apps, settings, files, and web results.

The main search page now has a simpler layout, and result labels show more clearly whether an item comes from an app, setting, file, web result, or Microsoft Store offer. Microsoft also removed advertising content from search results, so users see more relevant answers and fewer promotions.

A new setting in Settings > Privacy & Security > Search lets users control whether web results and Microsoft Store suggestions appear with local results. Local items now take priority when they better match a query, and system items like This PC and Recycle Bin should be easier to find.

Microsoft also improved app typo handling, settings ranking, file search, and overall Search stability.
