it's actually a separate app not a beta feature. main app is trying to remain small and fast so they seem reluctant to add features. i just keep Everything running in my systray. i've been meaning to try windows search again though and see if it's improved at all because i use power toys a lot and power toys includes a pop-up bar ("powertoys run") that uses windows search indexes but is also way less lovely than windows start menu "searching" with respect to finding files and apps vs searching the web. one thing people forget/don't realize is you have to add folders that are outside the defaults if you want them indexed ie i have a c:\src\ folder for source code. if windows search gave you a "index meta-data but not file content" option i'd just index the whole drat drive and not even bother with Everything

i'm in the options now and i forgot how much of a turd they are want to change which file types are fully indexed vs metadata only? here's a long, unsearchable list for you to go through want to filter out a particular subfolder name universally? nope sorry you have to exclude every instance manually goddamn it's so bad e: oh, of course. there are two options screens now. the original one is now the 'advanced' one, which has an 'advanced' button for what i guess are now 'advanced advanced' options e2: at least the new screen gives you a big obvious button to index the entire hdd. annoyingly i can't force it to immediately index everything though so i can't search for anything i just added to the index. lol. lmao. what a loving joke Cold on a Cob fucked around with this message at 14:22 on Apr 26, 2022 |

mobby_6kl posted:I actually prefer the handsfree profile for meetings since it seems to have lower latency. It usually works on the Jabra headset, but sometimes it randomly doesn't! i have some cheap soundcore (ie anker) headphones that work quite well but if i go into headset mode they kinda suck and then they also stop working properly when i switch back to headphone mode. i have to cycle them off and on again to fix it. so dumb so i prefer to leave them in headphones mode (latency is fine) and use my laptop's mic (also fine)

I just recently started using powertoys run and it's so much better than the current start menu search (in windows 10; I still haven't used 11) that I literally don't understand why they don't either include it with windows or maybe even just take it and use it instead of the current start menu search? powertoys run has all kinds of cool shortcuts in it like searching for settings using $, services using !, apps using ., etc so loving handy
