Microsoft starts testing a better Windows Search on Copilot+ PCs |
It makes finding your documents, photos, and settings across Windows 11 easier |
Microsoft is rolling out an improved version of Windows Search to Snapdragon-powered Copilot+ PCs, PC Mag reported. First revealed in October, the feature, which is currently a test build, uses semantic and traditional indexing to make searching for documents, photos, and settings easier. According to the computer giant, semantic indexing means “you no longer need to remember file names, exact words in file content, or settings names.

This iPhone 17 Air design leak has Google Pixel written all over it |
A new leak suggests Apple’s rumored 'Air' phone could look very similar to Google's Pixels |
The iPhone looks to be heading for a major design refresh after recycling the same aesthetics that it introduced with the iPhone 11 series, Digital Trends reported. But a new leak suggests that it won’t be a flagship phone that sets the ball rolling, but instead a highly-anticipated mid-tier phone rumored to be called the “Air,” though often referred to as the “Slim.” Leaker MajinBu, who has a mixed track record, has shared what appears to be the unibody chassis for the rumored iPhone 17 series Air. The standout element is the large pill-shaped camera bar at the top, which looks suspiciously similar to the Pixel 9 series phones ... |
